Are you connecting from your hosting account? I believe GoDaddy uses ip
filtering on their db servers.
If you are trying to connect from a non GoDaddy server there is a
setting somewhere to add another host to have access in their control
panel... I haven't been in GoDaddy in years but that is what I had to do.
Hope this helps...
