Well, I still don't know what was causing the problem exactly, but there was something in WindowsXP Pro that was killing my connection. I discovered this by borrowing a notebook computer and putting it on the same network (running WinXP Home) and sure enough, EVERYTHING worked (well, I had to use the IP address rather than the name for some reason -- I think that has to do with the router).
So I just started uninstalling things on my main XPP box and rebooted. Lo and behold, it connects! Not to mention that a lot of other internet programs that I've been wanting to use work now too. I figured they just didn't work b/c I had a router and the internal LAN and stuff. ;-) I still have no idea why Mascon worked the whole time however. > -----Original Message----- > From: Stefan Hinz, iConnect (Berlin) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 1:38 PM > To: Daevid Vincent; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Can't connect error 10061 - nothing but Mascon > works remotely. > > > Dear Daevid, > > > I don't have mySQL installed on the XP box, so I can't run > mysqladmin. > > I knew your answer to this before I pressed the send button ;-) > > Do install MySQL on your Win XP box.
