Look at your wait_timeout and interactive_timeout settings. They may be set to a low value. If your connection sleeps for > these 2 vars mysql will disconnect you.

Don't think this is the issue. Both variables are at default values of 28800 -- or 8 hours. Besides, wouldn't they have the same effect on my laptop access as on the desktop? Again, using the console on the box hosting MySQL, I get frequent server gone away errors. At the same time, using the console on my laptop but accessing the very same MySQL server over the network, I have no such problems. That seems precisely bass-ackwards to me! ;-)-->Subject: Connection Time Out --> --> -->Splain this to me: I use my laptop to connect to the test-bed MySQL -->server residing on my desktop.
