Can you use the actual IP address and get it to work? If so, then ping
localhost and ping tux and make sure the IP that you believe it should be is
actually being returned.

Subject: using host name option
I am having trouble using the -h option in my setup of MySQL. If I use '-h
localhost' in the command it will work, but my hostname on my box is tux. If
i use '-h tux' for the hostname option, it will not work. I double checked
my /etc/hosts and everything is as it should be there. Is there anything I
am doing wrong? What should I do to be able to connect to it on my LAN?
