I tried the same command but no connection can be established - mysql just "hangs". Telnet just brings # telnet 127.0.0.1 8808 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to 127.0.0.1. Escape character is '^]'. No command gives any reply then. I tested the newest mysqld but I don't even get it to work: "TCP/IP, --shared-memory, or --named-pipe should be configured on NT OS" although I set --port. Perhaps I have to set something inside Wine to make it work?
