Check the mysql .err file in your data directory (specified in
my.{ini,cnf}) for error messages from the server.  If the mysql server
doesn't even get that far, check your NT Application event log (run
"eventvwr"), or run the server (mysqld-nt ?) from the command line.

10061 is an error number from Windows' socket layer meaning that the TCP
connection was actively refused (by a RESET packet from the remote
host).  This usually means that noone is listening at the ip/port you're
trying to access.

Never used it, but I think you're wrong.
I think ODBC connections from Java are done using a generic ODBC-JDBC
bridge (supplied by eg. Sun).
I think the Java connector is a JDBC driver that does not depend on
Connector/ODBC.
