what you can do is check if port 3306 is listening try lsof -i :3306
and about connecting to a remote mysql server via the -h switch check your firewall to see if your IP or whatever you specify is allowed to connect to the mysql server. If it is not that try and add a -u and -p switch to the command and enter the appropriate values for those switches. Hope i have understood ya problem well cheers David Ziggy Lubowa Network Engineer One2net (U) web: www.one2net.co.ug Tel: +256 41 345466 -----Original Message----- From: David Hayes-Moats [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, November 30, 2002 5:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: No port listed I'm running mysql 3.23.53 on Red hat linux 7.1.
