Make sure the port is open from the db server. you can test it using "telnet server 3306(if that's what you use)". If not, have your network admin open the port for you.

I have MySQL installed on one of the boxes on the intranet (on which I am not the root) and am trying to connect to it remotely via a box (that can be see from the "external world"). Unfortunately it does not seem to be working. Here's what I did from the shell: my sql -h <IP_OF_INTRANET_BOX> -u andy -p After I do this, it asks for my password, and after I enter it, it just sits there doing nothing. I am however able to login using my credentials from the intranet box directly. However when from the intranet box, I try to login using the exact command above, it's exactly the same situation - it just sits there after I enter the password. Any suggestions? Thanks.
