i d/l mySQL control center...i installed it and loaded it up...but it prompts me for some info...

Name: (this is the name of DB?)
Host Name: (name of server running mysql?)
User Name: (i pick one, right?)
Password: (i pick one, right?)

so it's pretty self-expalnatory, right? i filled out the form:

Name: DBtest1
Host Name: my.comp.ip.address.on.the.web (whatismyip.com)
User Name: testUser
Password: 123456

but i get an error, "ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'xx.xx.xx.xx' (10061)

hmm...i can only guess that i set up mysql wrong...i checked the add/remove programs and it shows mySQL installed (50+MB)...all i did was d/l mySQL and install. i didn't configure or setup at all...is this my problem?

i have win2k box with a pws set up on it (IIS). i can run perl and stuff (activestate)...

what am i missing?
