I'm a new user who has probably made a simple error but despite checking
through the manual I cannot see where I have gone wrong. I have MySQL
installed on my Windows XP PC (fully up to date). MySQL works OK in that
using the Mysql command line client I have created a table in the test
database and entered some data. So far so good. I have installed v3.51 ODBC
drive. I then try to set up a DSN using the Windows ODBC Data Source
Adminsitrator. Everything goes OK except that when I get to the stage where
you click the Test button (having entered localhost, root username,
password) I get a 10061 error message which means, I beleive, the connection
is being rejected by MySQL. But I followed the MySQL reference manual using
when installing and cannot see why it accepts the MySQL command client but
not the ODBC driver. What do I need to change? Nothing in the manual. I
supect a common oversight on my part. Does anyone know some likely mistakes
I may have made? (or oversights in the manual?). Thanks. Tony S.

Is the server running?

What does
netstat -an | find "LISTEN" | find "3306"
tell you ?

Have you checked to see if your firewall is blocking port 3306?
