[08S01] [MySQL][ODBC 5.1 Driver]Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 2

Hello there,

I am new here and also new in working with MySql.

I try to establish an ODBC connection from a W2003(64bit)
server to a MySql database on a Suse Linux server.
All firewalls are open (checked with the FW administrator).
Yet, I am getting the following message:

[08S01] [MySQL][ODBC 5.1 Driver]Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 2

I use the latest ODBC driver from MySql (5.1, but I get the same error with 3.51).

I suppose that there are some Linux or MySql configurations which need to be
adapted but as I said, I am a novice in MySql.

Can anyone help or give some advise how to solve the problem.

Thanks in advance & best regards,
Hans-Jürgen
