Re: forcing tcp/ip connect when connecting to localhost

pment while being able to connect to the live database. Thanks again for your help, Ben -- Ben Peter ph. +49-(0)173-9262278 fax +49-(0)89-1488-216649 - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual)

forcing tcp/ip connect when connecting to localhost

use an ssh tunnel to forward the local port 3306 to my isp machine: ssh -L 3306:localhost:3306 [EMAIL PROTECTED] sleep 10m ssh binds only to the localhost interface (127.0.0.1). So now I need to connect to 127.0.0.1, but through TCP/IP instead of using sockets. Any idea? Thanks in advance, Ben --
