Thanks for the help.
There's still a problem though:
I started another command prompt, typed mysql -u root, and it gave me
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial
communication packet', system error: 2
If I turn my firewall off, it works though.
The thing is, I don't want to have to turn off my firewall to use mysql.  I
have Symantec, and MySQL is in the list of programs to allow.  I didn't find
an option to open specific ports.
If anyone has experience with Symantec and knows what to do, that would be
great.

Thanks

Jimmy
