After reading most of these threads, I found that using the command

$: mysql --defaults-file="c:\mysql\my.ini" -uroot -p

did work. But why did

$: mysql -uroot -p

give me that "can't connect...." error. Well I suspect that the computer is using the wrong ini file. By coping the my.ini into the C:windows the

$: mysql -uroot -p

worked. I am running on a windows XP and the files are located at C:\mysql.
