can't login from nettwork

[Chris W]

I have mysql 4.0.16 on my windows machine and have just installed suse 
linux on another machine.  It comes with mysql 4.0.15.  After I got the 
user setup I was able to use the mysql client on the windows machine to 
connect to mysql on the linux machine I even used mysqldump piped to 
mysql to dump a database to the new server.  But now I can't seem to 
login anymore.  I don't think I changed any settings on the linux 
machine so I am at a loss as to why I am getting this error.

ERROR 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

That happens immediately after I type in mysql -h 192.168.1.2 -u cdw 
-pxxxxxx and hit enter.
