+ Mike Hillyer - This is getting a little old, commenting out.
+
+ @item @code{Can't open named pipe} error
+ If you use a MySQL 3.22 server on Windows NT with the newest MySQL
+ client programs, you get the following error:
+
+ @example
+ error 2017: can't open named pipe to host: . pipe...
+ @end example
+
+ @tindex .my.cnf file
+
+ This happens because the release version of MySQL uses named pipes
+ on NT by default. You can avoid this error by using the
+ @code{-host=localhost} option to the new MySQL clients or by
+ creating an option file @file{C:\my.cnf} that contains the
+ following information:
+
+ @example
+ [client]
+ host = localhost
+ @end example
+
+ Starting from 3.23.50, named pipes are enabled only if
+ @command{mysqld-nt} or @command{mysqld-max-nt} is started with
+ @code{-enable-named-pipe}.
