error 2006..

[gater1234]

my friend keeps getting this error, hes using a dialup modem and I'm using cable so I don't know how to help him. He has done everything step by step, and has winmysqladmin running, with a green light, with both the program and server as green light. He is using the IP from the database thing and has put that IP under the loginserver.ini, but when he connects he still gets all these errors from world.exe:

LoginServer.ini read.
