Try opening tcp port 3306 on the firewall, or alternately, making MyODBC
a "trusted" application and giving it full access. I would advise making
sure that there are passwords on all your MySQL databases first though.
I don't use ZoneAlarm, so I couldn't tell you how to allow MyODBC to
have free reign, but there should be some information in the help.

Good luck
