telnet localhost 3306, see if you get something
telnet wildtangent.com 3306 , I actually tried that one
( if you have a firewall, I recommned closing that port
just in case) connected successfully, but your system
did not like me and disconnected me right away and told
me my host stinks :). Also can you connect without
mysqladmin? Check your privilige system, make sure it
likes you. Check your logs, you might find something
interesting in them.
