i've tried doing the privileges thing.. a couple of different ways.. uninstalling/reinstalling mysql (rebooted between)... and still same problem... tried deleting my.ini.. rebooting, and making a new login/pass (making sure that db.ini still matches)... im using notepad as my editor (this a bad thing? or is it OK?)....

I REALLY want to get a LAN server running... there are sometimes up to 8 computers in this house, and it'd be cool to have our own little server... (cant use the login from login.eqemu because we are behind a hardware firewall....)

any help would be greatly appreciated!! thank you in advance!!
