Hi Mark,
somebody mentioned to you the skip-networking option the other day, as
well as the README.Debian file; can you post the result of
$ grep networking /etc/mysql/my.cnf
just to verify that that line has been commented out
(if, as you say, all you did was freshly install mysql, it won't be
listening on the network; see the docs you were pointed to)
if you have already commented out that option, try
$ nmap localhost | grep mysql
just to verify that it is, in fact, listening.. it should be using port
3306 by default
if it doesn't show up, you may want to try it again after stopping
whatever firewall you may be running
hth,
Kenneth
