MySQL works perfect on my system and it has no problem. It is a small 
LAN (With 6 systems and one server) and MySQL has been installed on 
server and works fine both remotely and locally. Also, yes, I connect 
throught port 3306 and from localhost. In fact, I didn't define them in 
PHP.ini because they will be retrieved from built-in MySQL variables 
which are default if I do not set them to any specific valus.
