Port 3306 is already in use

[LittleSmudge]

I'm installing MySQL on a Windoz 2000 box remotely using VNC to work on the machine.

I've done this before on other locations and all worked okay.

However, on this Server I get to the instal point where I define the port and I select 3306 as usual and I get a meesage telling me

"It seems that port 3306 is already in use. Are you sure that you want to use this port?"

I'm sure that there are no previous instances of MySQL on this box.
Is there any way of finding out what it is that MySQL installer thinks might be using 3306 ?

Try "netstat -a" at the command prompt. Look for something like...

TCP SERVER:3306 blah.blah
