Hi Jason, I think you're right that this isn't tomcat - this error has only appeared for me when either the dbase really isn't there (yes, I've forgotten to start it, *sigh*), or more often, port 3306 is closed/filtered. With XP you might be having firewall issues (dunno how configurable it is, although on Home I think it's on/off, *sigh*), or maybe the user tomcat is running as isn't authorized?
I'd try running nmap first and if 3306 is closed then you know the problem, and can start figuring out a solution.
