Wish it was that easy but I havent got SP1 installed. Oh well looks like I am going to have to install SP1 as apparently it uses the same firewall as XP SP2.
Have been following the steps for Securing a MYSQL Server on Windows in the thread over at
http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/...l_windows.html however it is a very longwinded process and I really dont want to have to go through all that everytime I need to configure the darn firewall. Weird as hell though cause I had absolutely no problems with my L2 server but that is using MYSQL 5.0 not Easyphp.
if I get it working I shall post again. Thanks for the help guys I really do appreciate it.
Dang looks like Im gonna get SP1 and SP3 now lol there goes whats left of my bandwidth this month.
