I'm guessing that you are running 10.4.3 on your Powerbook. In this
latest update, Apple took extra security measures and starts MySQL
with the --skip-networking option. This means only processes running
on the local machine can connect to it (through a Unix socket file),
like PHP running under Apache or the mysql client. This is a good
security measure.
You can change this by editing the /etc/my.cnf file, comment out the
skip-networking line and restart mysql.

I'm setting up a mysql server on OS X Tiger powerbook for development.
I've also a mysql server on my win2k pro machine.
Tiger has ip 192.168.0.100 and win2k has ip 192.168.0.101
Both db servers work fine locally but I can connect from Tiger to
Win2k
while not from win2k to Tiger.
The version of mysql on Tiger is 5.0.16, the version of mysql on
win2k is
5.0.15. Other than that,
I did almost nothing in configuring mysql on Tiger and win2k.
Can anyone tall me what to do in order to make mysql connection from
win2k to tiger?
Thanks
