Failed to connect to database: Error: #1251

[mrichburg]

I've been getting following error message when I run EQEmu:
Failed to connect to database: Error: #1251
(Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client)

Here my setup:

Op System: Windows 2000 Server
EQEmu Version: EQEmu-0.7.0-992
DB Version: peq (downloaded April 10th using WinCVS instructions)
MySQL Version: 5.0.37-community-nt
MySQL Admin Version: 1.2.11

I issued the following command in the MySQL Command Client:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON peq.* TO eq@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'eq' WITH GRANT OPTION;

In the MYSQL Admin, I set the password to eq for the eq user

In have the following in my eqemu_config:
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>eq</username>
<password>eq</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>



Can anyone suggest any tips or tell me what I'm doing wrong?
