rdp has a special port that it runs over. mysql runs over 3306. just because they have the rdp port open doesnt mean they have the mysql one open. but again, good question for the lan admin. i doubt it has anything to do w/ easyPHP. when you say you have a 'web address' for your computer at work, does that mean you can connect to websites hosted on your computer from the internet (like from home for example [not using rdp])? if thats the case then your company also has port 80 open to your system as well, which still doesnt mean that 3306 is open. if you want, you can find out real quick yourself, by using nmap. just use the hostname for your box at work and nmap it. say for example your box has the name mybox.myoffice.com, then you do nmap mybox.myoffice.com if you dont see port 3306 in the list, likely you wont have direct access. but if you do have access over port 80 (web) you can install mysqlAdmin and get to it that way. -nathan
