Error no. 2013 Lost connection to MySQL server during query

[Dave Rabkin]

Have installed MySQL 5.0.2 on server other machines without problems but am having problems on Windows 2000 Server SP 4 (with all patches to-date).

Installation occurred without error. Using Windows Service to start MySQL. Here's the contents of My.ini:

[client]
port=3306
[mysqld]
port=3306

When I try to display the details for a table in the MySQL schema using SQLyog, I get:

Error no. 2013 Lost connection to MySQL server during query

My MySQL service is stopped after this error. I can restart the service but when I try to expand the details of the same table again, I get the same error again and the service is stopped again.

I'm I have a problem with Windows security because of Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or is my.ini file wrong?
