Dear,

I tried to use the MySQL ODBC 3.51 driver on Windows XP and across a =
ZoneAlarm Firewall, and it pass on conection test (Test button), but =
failed on selecting the database.

When the Firewall is turned off, the ODBC connector works fine.

I think the problem can be a TCP port used by ODBC on client computer =
wich has been blocked.

Anybody may help me, please?

Thanks,

Daniel

Try opening tcp port 3306 on the firewall, or alternately, making MyODBC
a "trusted" application and giving it full access. I would advise making
sure that there are passwords on all your MySQL databases first though.
I don't use ZoneAlarm, so I couldn't tell you how to allow MyODBC to
have free reign, but there should be some information in the help.

Good luck

Last possibility, make the server a trusted host.
And all those advices together.
