I have RH9 running on a p4 machine. I have mysql 3.23.58 running on this linux machine. Through Websphere studio application developer on windows xp machine I am trying to connect to my MySql database on the Linux machine. The error I receive is: connection refused I then tried to telnet to the Linux machine, this also error'd with: Connection Refused On the Linux machine I can see and access the other computers on my network, however none of my Windows machines see the Linux Server through Network Places. I can however successfully ping the Linux server. Addtional info: Linux security is set to none. Logging into Linux server MySql DB with root/password. Do I need to activate or configure something on the Linux server in order to allow connections? Thank you for your assistance -EKG
