Splain this to me: I use my laptop to connect to the test-bed MySQL server residing on my desktop. Using this connection, I can do anything: load 200K lines, do complex (for me) queries, whatever. But, open a MySQL console connection _on the desktop_ where the MySQL server lives, I can't do a desc table without getting the "Lost connection to MySQL server during query" message. I've looked in the documentation and none of the possibilities there seem to apply. It seems especially strange since the remote connection from my laptop has none of these problems. Any ideas will be appreciated. Randy
