Do what Paul DuBois just suggested a few minutes ago on this very list: "Delete the records from the user table that have blank User fields:
DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User = ''; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; Then try again." That might help. Is your mysql server box behind a firewall? If it is, you might want to open port 3306 on the firewall.
