GUI tools 5.0 not connecting to MySQL Server

Hi

I have the following setup
5.0 Gui tools : Need to use QB and Administrator ( On Windows) 
Server 4.1.11 : On Linux 

I have the root user and pwd to log into the server and I can see that 
the server is running. Mysqladmin ping -u root -p => Server is alive. 
Also I can log into the server with "mysql -u root -p " and execute 
queries.

Now, when trying to connect from Gui tools ( with the root user and 
pwd,  port 3306 ) it gives me error # 1130
HY000 Host 'dyna090236.....' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL 
server.
(Checked Server Variables on the server machine and the port variable = 
3306)

Read the docs for this error - Says credentials not ok but my user pwd 
is same as root and working ok on server side.

Please suggest what is it that I am doing wrong? Any help is greatly 
appreciated.

thanks
