[Mono-list] Mono 1.1.7 and MySql, "Unable to connect ..."

[Kevin Flanagan]

Environment: Windows XP, MySql 4.1, MySql Connecter/NET 1.0.4, Mono 1.1.4
and 1.1.7

I recently upgraded a machine from Mono 1.1.4 to 1.1.7 and immediately had a
problem with MySql connections. Now I've put both versions on that machine
and have a two-line test program that does nothing more than connect to a
local MySql database. The test program runs fine under 1.1.4 but under 1.1.7
produces the error: "Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts".
Since the only difference between the two is the version of Mono, I'm
guessing it must be a Mono problem, but I've not been able to find any
information on it (though there is a thread which looks similar here:
http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?38,27316,27316#msg-27316 ). Has anyone
encountered this problem or found any resolution to it? Thanks in advance
for any info.
