Allo i saw and read all the posts so far, so i so i hope this doesn't sound repedative. anyways i got it all down, up to the navicat part and even though it is completely optional i'm doing it because eventiually i planned on putting in some custom vendors and other stuff later on. i have the latest version of .net (3.5), i'm running on O/S XP(SP3) & i'm using MySQL 2005. the few questions i had were:
for the connection name, i guess i put in my realm name?
for the hostname/ip address i guess would be the server IP or my External ip, right?
and lastly the error i get is:
2003 - Can't connect to MySQL server on '68.196.95.30' (10060)
