I was asked (told) by my security people to use a port < 1024. I am running with 1000 other places, and was running with 1000 on both of these machines.

You can't bind to a port less than 1024 unless you're running as root. I suspect that's the problem here. Try another port, higher than 1024. I'm kind of curious why you aren't running it on the standard 3306? Regards, Jeremy -- Jeremy Cole MySQL Geek, Yahoo! Inc.
