I have win7 OS and VMware v10, and have Debian 6 installed in it. I want to connect to Debian's mysql database.

1) I have set in network connections of the VM option - Bridged.

2) In Debian I can connect to mysql, it works fine.

3) The Ip address of the guest is 192.168.0.103.

When I try to connect from windows, using mysql -h192.168.0.103 -uuser1 -p and then type the password, it says

ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.0.103' (10061)

What I'm doing wrong?

Thanks
