1. Try to telnet to port 3306 on the server. Do you get any response at all? If it doesn't connect, either MySQL isn't running or it's not enabled remote connections. If it connects but just sits there and doesn't give you back a few bytes of junk, you have a different problem ;) 2. If you can connect and get garbage, you'll have to get on the server itself (or gain access to the server as a privileged user) to do anything further. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
