Hi.
'localhost' is a special name for MySQL, which implies to connect via
mysql.sock. You don't need to recompile, just give the host name (like
test.earthlink.net or whatever it is) or IP address of your PC and
MySQL will use TCP sockets.
Bye,
Benjamin.
PS: I don't really know whether there is a method to recompile without
UNIX sockets, but I never heard about it on this list until today.
