Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Since it seems likely to me that this is a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I'm marking this bug as Incomplete.

If indeed this is a local configuration problem, you can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

Or if you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New.

In my case, may have been change of ip address on server(reset of router dhcp tables) I had locked server to ip address in router and set bind address in my.cnf to that address to allow logins across my network.). Update has gone through and Ive changed my.cnf to listen on all interfaces (bind-address = 0.0.0.0 ) in case ip adresss of server changes again. As far as Im concerned this bug can be closed.
