"Can"t connect to MySQL server on "localhost" (10061)"

Dear List,

When I test the DSN connector that I have configured on the "Connector/ODBC
3.51.20 - Configure Data Source Name" form, I get the following diagnostic
message: [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server on
'localhost' (10061). I have read everything in the manual concerning ODBC
Connections and Section B.1.2.2. "Can't connect to [local] server". I have
checked everything that was suggested. The server is running - I see it in
the process list. I can connect to the server from SQL Administrator and
SQL Query Browser.

My settings for the DSN are:

LOGIN:
Data Source Name: myodbc
Description: MySQL ODBC DSN
Server: localhost
User: ron
Password:
Database:

CONNECT OPTIONS:
Port: 3306
Socket mysql

ADVANCED:
Force Use of Named Pipes checked (note: tried this both ways)
Read Options From my.cnf checked (note: tried this both ways,
my.cnf was modified as
suggested)
All others unchecked


Below is the trace of a test:

Do you have any ideas?

I'm desperate. I talked my client into to using MySQL instead of MS SQL
Server and now I'm stuck.
