If I were you I'd try the command-line client (downloadable from
www.mysql.com) for troubleshooting.
Type in:
C:\> cd \mysql (assuming you installed the client in c:\mysql)
C:\mysql> mysql -h 192.168.0.1 -u username -p
Password: <password>
Most likely you don't have a user set up for your Windows box. A user
has a name, password, and host he can connect from. Just because you can
log in as "root@localhost" on the Linux box doesn't mean you can on the
WinXP box.
Needless to say, if you can't connect from the command-line it isn't a
MyCC problem. You'll get a more descriptive error message and you can
refer to the docs at www.mysql.com for advice. If you want you can
e-mail me personally and I'll guide ya through it.
Good luck!

Subject: MyCC on WinXP box wont connect to MySQL on Linux box
Hello, hope you can help...
I am trying to connect to a MySql database with MyCC.
The MYSQL (v3.23.49) database is on a Linux box (redhat 6.2).
MyCC is running on Windows XP.
I keep getting the following error;
[192.168.0.1] ERROR 10061: Connection to MySQL server failed
Am I missing something obvious?
Many thanks in advance,
Harris Kavadas
