Yep - both the Win2k box and Linux box now identify each other by IP (access control and any host references in code) - but the problem persists.
And yep again, I agree that the presence of windows is the other variable! However, I don't see why it would be so slow to connect! Perhaps it's a peculiarity of the MySQL 5 windows build currently available - but then I was hoping someone else would have seen the same issue! I'm going to try building MySQL 5 on another linux box at some point (then I can throw a backup of the database on there and try it), but would really like to keep it installed on Windows at the moment - because it's more convenient to debug (and restart)!
