Can't connect to MySQL

[Pablo1234]

I have been using MySQL for 2 years now and I have never seen this problem before.
Win2K, IIS 5, MySQL 4.0.13 win
I have just recently reinstalled my whole system and now all of the sudden I can not conect to my new install of MySQL. I can create Databases and stuff from the command line, but I can not connect to my server. I am doing nothing difrent than before. This is my ini file, all sensitive stuff is * out:

[mysqld]
basedir=C:/mysql
#bind-address=65.30.221.127
datadir=C:/mysql/data
#language=C:/mysql/share/your language directory
#slow query log#=
#tmpdir#=
#port=3306
#set-variable=key_buffer=16M
[WinMySQLadmin]
Server=*:/mysql/bin/mysqld-nt.exe
user=**********
password=**********

I am not sure wher to start but I have tryed to connect with localhost, 127.0.0.1, http://www.rtspc.com, 65.30.221.127 but none work. this is a sample of my err file:
030609 9:55:43 InnoDB: Started
MySql: ready for connections.
Version: '4.0.13-nt' socket: '' port: 3306
030609 11:19:53 MySql: Normal shutdown

030609 11:19:55 InnoDB: Shutdown completed
030609 11:19:55 MySql: Shutdown Complete

then I run mysqladmin version

I am not sure why it did not work the first time but try using a blank password. For some resson it did not have one even though it was in my.ini, check you my ini for errors ect.

these errors usualy occur when mysqld ,httpd are not running
could not connect to localhost(port) means no one is listening at that port for your connection.
also see whether your username and password are required for your connection (in configuration file mysql.password=..,mysql.username=... and ServerName=...)
settings...

have you run mysqld --install to install it as a service and run the service?
