Hello Folks,

I’m getting this error when trying to connect to the mysql server hosted in a linux server from my TOAD installed in a windows 7 computer in the same LAN. The MySQL workbench apparently works fine.

Thanks.

You need to post this to the TOADMYSQL group. This group is for the Oracle  
product.
