Hi Matthew, Yes I have tried telnetting, and it refuses connection. Reading up on the possibiltiies, if its (a) firewall, Leopard doesnt allow you to open up specific ports, but only specify applications. (b) if it is tcp/ip, which I think it may be, I am not sure how to set that up.
The MySQL is the pre-built one and I know its not ideal. I am trying to work out the best way of building my own, but the problem is, uninstalling the pre-built mysql is a nightmare according to other bloggers.
