First: you need MySQL to run properly. If your mysqld(-nt) starts properly, you can check it with telnet: telnet <server-ip> 3306. If you get a message like "Couldn't connect ...", this mean your mysql server not started.

If you successfuly connected via telnet, try to do it with "mysql.exe": mysql -u <username> -p -h <server-ip> <database>.

If you still have a troubles, don't hesitate to ask me...
