     What OS are you using? I have built a mysql-connector-ooo.oxt 
(1.0.2) on Ubuntu 12.04. With it I have connected to a MySQL server 5.5 
both locally and remotely. I did this using LO 4.0.0.3, LO 4.0.1.1, and 
4.1.0.0+alpha (the build created with the connector. Today I plan to 
install Mandriva to see whether it will work with it. It is alpha until 
sufficient testing is done.
