Gerald said it could be one of two things. You've just said it's not the first. Think some more about the second (reverse DNS)...
If you don't have the authority/ability to configure DNS in your environment, add the systems to each other's hosts files (C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on W2K) and try again - a reboot may be required; hey, this is M$. Connecting by IP addresses does not mean that the underlying mechanisms won't go through a host resolution process.
If that doesn't eleviate things, consider checking the network statistics for errors (netstat -e on W2K) and approach it from that angle; verifying proper speed/duplex configuration between your hosts and networking equipment.
As a last resort, you can look through your OS (eventvwr on W2K) and/or MySQL's log files for indications of the problem.
Good luck, Roy
