yea my loopback is 127.0.0.1
I forgot to say, my mysql server is on a spare pc on my home network on 192.168.1.155
Vbox is on my laptop running under 192.168.1.157 an my laptop is 192.168.1.150
Vbox & my laptop can connect to mysql on 192.168.1.155 in Windows navi & linux mysql client
but the lc server fails connection.
LC server & lunix mysql client are on the same vbox image
if one can connect the other should also but it dont.I have now changed the login username to root without password an still not working but the other two work fine still.
