If you're getting error 10060, this means that connect error 10060 outlook you ARE NOT ALLOWED to access the web server remotely. Usually we (I mean, I) access the mysql databases using php and this is connect error 10060 thunderbird on the SAME server. Thus we use 'localhost' to connect. But if you were to for example access the same web database using a local machine running VB, the story is different. First, here's what you should NOT do.
Error 10060 While Connecting
I'm saying this because I noticed some responses had these as action steps. So, 1. DON'T change any ports 2. DON'T close existing ports and reopen new ones as it may affect other apps. 3. DON'T disable any firewalls. Now here's what you MUST do: 1. on your connection string, make sure that you're using the SERVER'S correct IP. On the other hand, you can use the domain name, and this is what I do. 2. The rest of the mysql error 10060 can't connect parameters are the same. I mean they're what you want or have set. 3. NOW the critical thing. First you've got to tell your web server that you need to accept remote connections. You can easily do this using the cpanel. When you're asked for the remote host name, type in % (the percentage sign) to mean ANY HOST. 4. Finally, you may have to tell the web server's firewall that you're making a remote connection from your machine. To do this, cpanel allows you to add your own IP into a 'white list'. In most cases, cpanel shows you a list of class C IPs and your one should be there. Select it. Save the settings. Now go into your app and run the program - eg: in VB. Should work just fine!

I doubt it is however. Very likely to be a NAT problem. –jweyrich Apr 30 '10 at 12:51 @jweyrich: You were very right, the ISP have blocked all ports but 21, 80 and 3389. –Anonymous May 1 '10 at 9:12 add a comment| 7 Answers 7 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote I suppose your mysql server is running on Windows...thus open a DOS window and type: netstat -an You should find a row like this: TCP 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING This tell you that mysql server is running and listening on TCP port 3306. Another test you can do is to telnet (from another pc) to your mysql server: telnet ip_mysql_server 3306 This should open a telnet session: Connected to server_name.

MySQL forum. http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?34,49742,239961#msg-239961 I found the problem: i had not added the MySQL Server port in firewall's exception list. //<-------part 2 Actually there is no MySQL error with no. 10060. The actual error no. is at the begninning of the error message.(may be ERROR 2003 etc.) Typically this kind of error message you see due to authentication issues. There could be many reason: 1. The MySQL server isn't running. 2. Port at which MySQL server is listening is blocked for you. 3. Port at which MySQL server is listening cann't accept any connection from outside world due to Firewall. Actually if it is a problem due to Firewall, no need to turn off firewall, you just have to include MySQL listeining port in to unblock/exception list of firewall. If your MySQL server is running on windows xp, following is the way to deal with firewall problem: 1. Go to Control Panel -> Windows Firewall (Windows Firewall dialog gets open.) 2. Go to Exceptions Tab and click on ‘Add Port…'(Add a Port dialog gets open.) 3. Give the appropriate name.(e.g., MySQL) 4. Give the listening port of MySQL.(Most commonly 3306) 5. Also make sure TCP radio button is selected. Here is the complete tutorial on how to add a port to Firewall exception list on windows xp. If sill problem persist refer MySQL documentation, on mysql website for problem regarding MySQL server connection problem. //-------> modification history: 1.
