I set my IPs to my address because I set one computer up to be the server and the other to be the client. And yes Shawn my l/p for my current setup of MySQL is eqemu/eqemu. I didn't see a problem with that since the only time that computer is on is when I'm working on it or running the EQEMu program
I figured out why I got the error, too. The plug I use to connect the computer to the internet suddenly stopped working. I only thing I can figure is that someone unplugged my computer by mistake. Thanks for the help though the pointer on checking the computer's internet connectivity helped me fix the problem :P
