Hi,

             I would like to connect to a database stored at linux
 machine from my Windows machine. But I am unable to connect to the
mysql
 server.

The error I am getting is 

"DBI connect('employee:xxx.xxx.xxx.xx','root',...) failed: Unknown MySQL
server host 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xx' (11001) at
d:\pras\webshare\common\siva\mysql\mysql.pl line 2"
--
I have used the exact ip address of the machine instead of
xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
,the database "employee" is created properly and mysql is running 


 Please help me regarding this issue.
 
************************************************************************
 use DBI;

 $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:employee:xxx.xxx.xxx.xx", 'root',
 'abc123',{ RaiseError => 1 });

 #do something here
 $dbh->disconnect();

***********************************************************************

Thanks 
siva
