When I changed the passwords, I changed them in the MYSQL database not in the jreceiver database. This allowed me to connect to MYSQL both in localhost mode and in @Homer mode.

When I said that I couldn't get the MYSQL that came with SUSE 9.1, I did in fact mean with jreciever, it seems to me I was getting similar problems JReceiver was unable to connect to the database.

Tonight when I get home from work, I will try to set everything up on my laptop and make sure I make note of all the issues I have, I don't believe I have installed the new MYSQL on that box yet. I will let you know how things work there maybe that will help.

Since I have it working on my server, I should be able to compare things.
