By default, Ubuntu has no firewall active. So, unless you guys configured one for the desktop, it's not the problem.
Do this: netstat -ln This should tell you what ip and port mysql is listening on. chances are you'll see 127.0.0.1:3306 instead of <your ip address>:3306 or 0.0.0.0:3306. If this is the case, you need to configure mysql to listen using the static IP address of the desktop or use 0.0.0.0 (I think just commenting out the "listen" line would make mysql listen to all active ip addresses -- a'la 0.0.0.0). If you don't see any, maybe mysql is listening on another port or mysql is not running. Check your config and log files. Cheers! --- mike t. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anyone? Backgrounder: Our java programmers are trying to access our ubuntu desktop computer (installed with mysql, php & apache)to connect their databases but they could not do so. Their desktop PCs are installed with Windows XP. They were able to connect PCs running in Windows their mysql databases by configuring the windows firewall by adding port 3306 and allowing MySQL. Questions: How will I allow port 3306 in Ubuntu 6.06? Where will I look for that configuration file? Where is the firewall confiuration allowing ports?
