I have installed mysql on NT (I'm no good at linux). I then cant do anything. I want to run mysql to create a table and I get the cant connect error. I've tried a remote gui and it fails to connect. I can ping localhost. The service is running with a green light. Any ideas?

NT Error 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

Do you have a username and password set up? The username and password are stored in a database called mysql. If you don't have one of those (username and password), then there is no way to connect. Set up a username and password and add it to the my.ini file.
That should do it.
Other than that, I do not know what to tell you. Are you just not able to connect? or is there another error involved?
Hope this helps,
