Error: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'IPADDRESS' (10065)
I got a LAN with 4 PC's, all connected through a HUB.
For test purposes, I installed 1 machine with Win98, 1 with WinME, 1 with WinXP, 1 with Win2000. All PCs have EQ, mysql and EQEMU installed and properly configured for LAN play. So, I just need to edit the eqhosts to select the host machine i want to test.
It seems that MYSQL on Windows XP / ME / 2000, if booted as FIRST PC of a LAN (connected thru a HUB) accepts connections only thru 127.0.0.1. MYSQL on Windows 98 always uses the correct IP Address, even if it is unplugged from the network.
A router sould give less problems than a hub.
