It might just be that your connect line isn't working properly. Try this form instead: mysql -u root -h MyLinuxSystem -p
You want to connect as user "root" to host "MyLinuxSystem" using a password for which you will be prompted. If that doesn't wok, you need to make sure that on your server, on your Linux system, you have the permissions set up so root is allowed to connect from your Windows XP system. You may need to add a user to do so (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Adding_users.html). GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'MyWindowsSystem' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION; Wes On Sun, 5 Sep 2004 18:46:50 +0200, Danesh Daroui <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I have installed Mysql-4.1 successfully on a Fedora Core 2 Linux system.
