Does name resolution work properly?

Try to connect using localhost to another server
process running locally, e.g. activate personal
websharing in the sharing control panel and point
your browser to localhost. Does it show the
famous "it works" page? If not, stick with that.
Try flushcache command on your lookupd. Check
with your ethernet config using ifconfig and
post results here if you cant deal with that
on your own. If it is really mysql-specific,
then I dont know about the problem.
