Hi!

Note that for not repeatable bugs like this, you should use mys@lists.mysql.com or the win@lists.mysql.com mailing lists.

The problem could be that MySQL uses TCP/IP and you have setup your system to automaticly call out on TCP/IP requests. There could also be a problem with your DNS when MySQL is trying to resolve the hostname 'localhost'

You can also try if 'ping localhost' is slow on your machine from time to time.

If this is the case you can solve this by creating a file \windows\system32\hosts (note that I am not 100 % this is the correct path on your windows version) with an entry

127.0.0.0 localhost your-ip-address hostname
