From the error message you got Telnet to port 3306: Host 'my-machine-name' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server you can be assured that you made a connection to the MySQL server. The problem is the MySQL server doesn't think you should be allowed to connect. I'm sure if you read the page linked above you will be able to persuade your MySQL server into allowing you to connect to it.

RE: Cannot connect to server
Thanks Shawn!! Here is some more pertinent information: * The server is running on Windows 2003 Server SP-1 * There is no switch between me and the server * I don't know the firewall program, and don't really know how to find out; I checked Program Files and running processes but nothing jumps out at me * I CAN tell you that I cannot open Windows Firewall -- I get an error message saying, "Windows Firewall cannot run because another program or service is running that might use the network address translation component (Ipnan.sys)." From my web research, I think the other "program or service" is remote access/VPN, which obviously I can't just disable * Since I can't get into Windows Firewall, I don't know how else to open up port 3306 Hopefully this information will allow someone out there to better guide me.

The error you got is telling you that somewhere between your machine and the server, you have been rejected from contacting that server. Most likely it will be a firewall on the server itself but it might be a switch between you and the server but I highly doubt it with such a small LAN. I would start at the server and check it for any kind of firewall program and make sure that you open up port 3306 for inbound traffic. If you get very specific about what kind of OS your server is on, there may be some people on this list that can help you find your firewall and poke a hole through it for your DB to listen through.
