MySQL Error with Rails on WindowsI just installed ruby on ra

I just installed ruby on rails on my windows laptop (so I can code on
the
road dontcha know), I normally use my gentoo box for this, but since
moving
things to the window box, I get this error when I try to run my
application:

Mysql::Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query:
#############################

And for the life of me can’t figure out why, it works just dandy on my
linux box, and I think I have my sql permissions

setup correctly. At least, I can connect to the server from my laptop
just fine. I noticed that this problem was
addressed somewhat here:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/Mysql+Connection+Problems/

But it doesn’t mention anything about fixing it on windows. Does
anyone know anything about this?
