I've executed the mysql -h ip -u user -p pw
No space after -p. I know it's weird, but it's the only way it will work. So, use this: mysql -h ip -u user -ppw
With the result that I get asked for a PW and then told I can't connect.You shouldn't get asked for PW if you use the above syntax correctly.
But, I don't have the 4.1.1 client. Where is it?
If you downloaded mysql4.1.1 to your laptop, then you have it. Otherwise: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-4.1.html
There is no '...client' in the bin directory.
By client, I mean the mysql file in the bin dir. If you set your system path, you won't need to actually be in the bin dir.
Otherwise you need to cd to that dir. So the entire proc is:
1.Open command prompt.
2.cd C:\mysql\bin
3.mysql -h ip -u user -ppw

I assume that you know the the server's ip and then try: from DOS: mysql -h ipaddressofserver -u user1 -ppassword1
--type this as is with your server's ip
Also you need to be running 4.1.1 client on your laptop.

With several others, I too have this problem.
MySQL 4.1.1 installed without a problem. The sqlAdmin is running. I can run the control center and/or mysql to do sql things.
This, though, is all from the server (a PC running Win ME). I want to
connect from my laptop.
What do I have to do? Executing telnet to the PC won't work (probably need the a telnet server).
When I move to the shared directory on the PC and try to execute mysql, I get the error.
Thanks for an assistance.
