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. N. Chris Frost
