<p class=MsoPlainText>I installed MySQL GUI v8.2 – and I was able to
connect to mythconverg database using - port 6543, password mythtv, username
mythtv and host address – localhost.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>I tried to telnet to localhost 6543 – it said it
was connecting (it said 5.1.42-community then some gibberish) it finished with
- connection to host lost.<o:p></o:p></p>

database. Have you created <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> the mythconverg database yet? The error is a IP
level error, at a CMD <o:p></o:p></p>

give you?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> The router doesn't matter, you aren't connecting
from the outside. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> Unless the Windows firewall is blocking your
connection? I'm not sure <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> if it does anything with localhost connections as I
