I can not use 'telnet aaa.bbb.ca 3306' on XP machine, it will give error like this:
Could not open connection to the host, on port 3306. Connection failed. But if I try on other Solaris machines ,it will say something like this: Trying (IP address) Connected to aaa.bbb.ca. Escape character is '^]'. ' 4.0.15 (some characters), Connection closed by foreign host. So that's the reason my application can not connect to the database from the XP machine? If so, to fix this issue, the system administrator has to be involved? Or say, it has nothing to do with Mysql database at this point? Thanks for your time and patience.
