[BioC] Can't access biomaRt with mysql

[Richard Pearson]

Hi

I've not been able to access biomaRt using the mysql interface this week. I'm 
seeing this both in release and devel. Is this a problem at the EBI end? If so, 
who should I contact?

 > library(biomaRt)
Loading required package: RCurl
 > listMarts(mysql=TRUE)
Loading required package: RMySQL
Loading required package: DBI
Error in mysqlNewConnection(drv, ...) :
   RS-DBI driver: (could not connect anonymous at martdb.ebi.ac.uk on dbname "(null)"
Error:Can't connect to MySQL server on 'martdb.ebi.ac.uk' (110)
)
