You mean you didn't put *telnetd* on the server. telnetd is the telnet server, telnet is the client. You can use telnet to connect to *any* port, not just 23 (although your results may vary, depending on what is listening on that port). Most telnet clients take the port number as a second argument: telnet somehost 3306 This is a basic diagnostic technique. It doesn't matter that the server doesn't have telnetd running on it as you won't be connecting to telnetd (port 23), but rather mysqld (port 3306). I haven't read this entire thread, so maybe you've covered all of the stuff outlined here, but you might look anyway: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Can_not_connect_to_server.html > Larry Brown wrote: > > > Can you telnet to 3306 and get a prompt?
