    Telnet and MySQL

    Good morning, I was wondering if anyone has had experience telnetting to a windows version of mysql? When I type the following in command prompt,
    VB Code:
    1. telnet 192.168.50.50 3306
    I get the following result:
    VB Code:
    1. 7

    2.  5.0.16-nt☺T(iWY:V",☻Bf^"/c(9)`+P

    3.  
    4. Connection to host lost.

    I know that the first part of the result is normal, you are supposed to get the version number (5.0.16-nt), along with garbage back...but after about 10 seconds the connection is lost. I have tried this with two mysql servers, one on my PC...another on a server, and both connections are lost.
    Code:
    If LostAngel.Tag = "Programming" then
   LostAngel.Caption = "Awake"
Else
   LostAngel.Caption = "Dreaming of Code"
End If

    You can't "telnet mydbserver 3306" like you telnet e.g. an SMTP server.
    You need the mysql client to do this.
    Others say try a program called NAVICAT. If it's on a local machine, you can also use 127.0.0.1 to telnet to it, if you supply the right port.

    I got into this a little bit myself. All in all, it would take to much effort to use telnet to manage your MySQL DB from telnet. Instead MySQL makes a administrator GUI that you can use. Works great for localhost connections. I also like a program called SQLyog (google it...).

    You need a MySql client, unless you fancy unsrambling it yourself. If you have mysql installed then you can use the program mysql.exe to connect. If not, you must obtain it:
