I can easily grant access to one IP using this code:

$ mysql -u root -p
Enter password:    
mysql> use mysql    
mysql> GRANT ALL ON *.* to root@'192.168.1.4' IDENTIFIED BY 'your-root-password';     
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

But i need to allow the whole subnet 192.168.1.* to access the database remotely.

How can i do that?

    EDIT: Consider looking at and upvoting Malvineous‘s answer on this page. Netmasks are a much more elegant solution.

    Simply use a percent sign as a wildcard in the IP address.

    From http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/grant.html

    You can specify wildcards in the host name. For example, user_name@'%.example.com' applies to user_name for any host in the example.com domain, and user_name@'192.168.1.%' applies to user_name for any host in the 192.168.1 class C subnet.
