Greetings, I just installed mySQL Server 3.25.52 on my internet connected PC ( which makes Internet gateway via Internet Connexion Sharing ) using Win98SE.
I have created a VB program which attacks the mySQL Server using ODBC. Over LAN and Localhost, everything works just fine. I am trying to reach the mySQL Server on another machine via Internet using the Configuration Panel ODBC Drivers & DSN utility but I get this error : "mySQL : cant connect to mySQL server '123.456.789.123' (10060)" Remote user for this client computer was created on the Server using : GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO soemone@"%" IDENTIFIED BY 'somepass'; and everything should work... but does not !!! ( worked over LAN ) Remarks : when I try to reach the mySQL server using Telnet + ServerIP + ServerPort ( 3306 ), I get the server's version ( 3.25.52 ) whilst on the LAN. When I do the same on the Client computer over Internet, I cannot get a response from the server despite the fact that ping works fine between the machines... Did I get something wrong ? Could this be the Internet Connexion Sharing translation which provokes this error ? PS : I do not use any Antivirus program and all firewalls have been stopped while testing in course ! Thanks in advance for all ideas on solving this problem...
