Apparently, this is a socket problem. You have no Unix socket on your Windows MySQL server through which to connect. Try to use TCP/IP, by connecting with the host specified, where host is something else but 127.0.0.1 or localhost; like this: mysql -h <machine_name> Where machine <machine_name> is the host name of your Windows machine.
