Then did you try `telnet aaa.bbb.ca 3306` to confirm you can reach the database machine? Either you can reach the port MySQL is listening on, or you can't. If you can't, you need to fix that. I don't use XP so I can't help there. If you *can* reach that port, but not access the database, you need to add the appropriate permissions to the grant tables.
