I cannot connect to the MySQL server from a remote host (with proper=20
privileges and IP/host or % as host).=20

I have installed successfully MySQL (version 4.1) on a windows 2000 server=
=20
and works fine. I have no problem connecting to MySQL when I run my web pag=
e=20
locally (MySQL host).

Reading through the MySQL manual I found that, a similar problem exists for=
=20
Linux installation and the problem can be resolved by commenting the line=
=20
bind-address 127.0.0.1 in the my.cnf. The problem is tha=
t=20
there is no such line in the windows version of my.cnf.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
