Jennifer -
We set up an SSH tunnel with port forwarding to connect our MySQL client
tools to our Linux database servers. The MySQL connection would use
localhost and a port of say 33063. The SSH tunnel would be configured to
forward port 33063 to 3306 on your Linux database server.
Hope this helps...

Subject: Should I be able to connect mysql client on windows to linux
server?
Hi - I am trying to connect MySQL Administrator 1.1.1 on my win2000 machine
to MySQL 4.1.10 running on Redhat Linux 4. I get 'error 2003' can't connect
to mysql server on '<ip address>'. The ping works, and mysql is running on
the linux server(I can run mysql administrator locally on the linux box just
fine). The port is 3306 and skip networking is off. The user table has % for
hostname, so I do not know why it would not work, but maybe one cannot use a
windows mysql client to a linux mysql server?
Thanks for any suggestions!
Jennifer
