Thanks everyone who responded, it was the firewall. For now I enabled 3306:tcp
in the firewall settings and can login remotely from windows just fine.

I appreciate all the quick responses!

I have seen this before as well. I found that it was the firewall running on the Linux box that was preventing the MySQL client from getting through. You might check this.

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
