what's the port number of mysql

Question

I'm trying to connect mysql with vb.net, I've already downloaded the mysql connector-net. And installed it. But I don't know what is the port number , server address of mysql. Its needed in the connection string. Please help,

Server=myServerAddress;Port=1234;Database=myDataBase;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword;

I don't suppose you thought to check the MySQL docs? Besides, if MySQL is running on the default port there is no need to specify it in the connection string. — John Gardeniers, Mar 14 '10 at 03:04

Default is 3306, however default installation of mysql only listen on localhost or has "skip-networking" enabled.

What is skip networking. – user28233 Mar 14 '10 at 00:45
@user28233, If skip networking is enabled then you cannot connect to the mysql server through the network. – Zoredache Mar 14 '10 at 00:49
how do I disable it?This is only a single computer with wamp server installed. I'm not trying to connect to the server computer. – user28233 Mar 14 '10 at 00:52
