I will try this next. I ran a few tests yesterday and I think I have  
eliminated MySQL and Tomcat as the possible problem areas. First, I  
set up a Ubuntu 8.04 server and I was successfully able to use the  
MySQL monitor to connect and log into the MySQL server running on the  
8.04 server from the 8.10 server. However, tomcat running on the 8.10  
server still failed. Also, I setup and configured Tomcat 5.5 on the  
Ubuntu 8.04 server and running the same test JSP still fails to  
connect! Just to clarify, running the test JSP shows success on my Mac  
OS X machine. I'm starting to think the problem has to do with  
security, permissions, or Java and not with the MySQL or Tomcat  
installations on 8.10 server.
