Problem allowing external host access database

[Alert]

Hi. I'm allowing another host to access my database, but today, the other host got an error saying that that host's IP was blocked because of excessive connection errors or something. It claims that you can unblock it by using something like 'flush-host'? in mysqladmin?

 

Is there any way to unblock the IP of the host and make sure it doesnt happen again?

 

thanks in advance

I've flushed the hosts, see if it works now.

Yay! It works. Thanks so much.

 

Now, do you think this could happen again? Or would this just happen rarely?

I'm not sure, to be honest.
