Description:
Trying to connect to server, first time running the program, previously used Administrator.

How to repeat:
Click server administrator, select the server to connect to (in my case "Server 1") and click OK.

Did you test if the connection is working at all?

Yes. I am trying to do Server Administration, I click at bottom "Manage Server Instances". my server is selected by default on left panel, I click "Manage Connections" while in the drop-down is selected already "Server 1 - root@193.1.1.52:3306 <Standard(TCP/IP)>.
I select my server from Stored Connections panel in left, click test connection and it responds by "Connection parameters are correct"

Did you configure services correct?

By services, I'm assuming you're talking about Windows Services?
Status of MySQL:Started
Startup type:Automatic

I previously used MySQL Administrator 1.2.17, had no problems connecting to the server. I still have it loaded at this point, and I can still connect using it.

I meant in the instance configuration. If you set there the right service name for your MySQL server service on Windows.

I look for this info under "Manage Server Instances"?
Two tabs are shown, Connection & system Profile
Under Connection:
Connection:Server 1 - root@193.1.1.52:3306 <Standard (TCP/IP)>
MySQL Server Version:5.0.22-community-nt

SSH Shell Connection is not enabled, don't know about this???

Under System Profile tab:
System Type:Windows
Installation Type:Windows (MySQL5.0 x64 Installer Package)
Everything else is grayed out.

Please excuse my ignorance if I am looking in wrong place.

Look at Figure 7.2.

Did you configure there the correct service name for your MySQL server at the field "Instance name from my.ini"
