Perhaps you did'nt grant access to for your home workstation IP address to have permission to log into the mysql server? Check out the grant command:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/GRANT.html Previous Message: ===================================================== I am trying to connect from my windows box at home using mysql.exe to a MySQL server at work on a Gentoo box. My command line is: mysql -h host.domain.com -u root -p (of course the host.domain.com is replaced with my server's FQDM) The output is: ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'host.domain.com' (10061) The default port is 3306 right? It doesn't say access denied so I assume the socket is not even open. How can I find out if MySQL is on the port 3306? What Linux command shows all active ports TCP or UDP?
