I installed MySQL to a Windows box. I want to connect it from a Linux box.
I run plink to setup a remote port forwarding in Windows box.
I try to connect it from Linux box, but it's not working.

Windows (192.168.1.101)

C:\> plink -v -N -R 3306:localhost:3306 [email protected] -pw ADMIN

Also tried putty with this config:

Port forwarding: R3306->localhost:3306

Linux (192.168.1.102)

$ mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

$ nc localhost 3306
