by default on a new xp install the firewall is enabled. stops everything on your network from getting thru. if port 3306 is blocked then accessing mysql thru ip would be denied. To disable internet connection firewall... I have not installed mysql on xp, but the same thing happens with irc, http servers, ftp servers, netbios, file sharing, etc. In Control Panel, double-click Networking and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections. Right-click the connection on which you would like to disable ICF, and then click Properties. On the Advanced tab, click the box to clear the option to Protect my computer or network.
