This problem happened to me when i first installed mysql, basically you need to add root to the user table of mysql. The first time you log in, password is not set so you log into the system with and hit 'enter', blank for a password, then you have to set password...

Could that be true? I check my router and see if it has port 110 open - with Interbase, it is port 3050.
