MYSQL, Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet'

Привет. Столкнулся с проблемой MYSQL. Уже перепробовал все. Google результатов не дал.
Отписался на форуме MYSQL, http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?11,265041,265041#msg-265041

Проблема при подключении к MySQL:
mysql -uroot --host 127.0.0.1 -P3306 -p
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 0

НО

mysql -uroot --host localhost -P3306 -p
Ошибок не выдает и подключиться удается.
