I have a few years of "hobbyist" type experience with VB development, with SOME experience with making front-ends for Access dbs, although I've been away from development for quite some time. I decided to check out MySQL as I've heard good things about it. I installed the "Essentials" community version of the program on my P4 512mb RAM Dell machine last night (WinXP Home, SP2), ran the config, started the instance, and downloaded the admin gui. For some reason, I CAN'T connect to the db via the GUI. It will ping the host, however it just will not connect. Any thoughts?
