I agree it is not a firewall issue. I have no firewall running on this machine and am accessing it from a workstation on its local network server:10.1.10.3/8 workstation: 10.1.0.101/8
dns is also not running. The named server is not even on. I have not got that far in setting the server up. My access from the workstation to the server is by direct ip address in dbtools I wish I could telnet to the port but for security I did not put telnet on the server so it tries to connect but gets a failure on port 23. Sorry. I did load ssh but can't remember how to login to that port using it from my win2000 workstation (still learning). Larry Brown wrote: > Can you telnet to 3306 and get a prompt?
