无法连接到 Windows 上的远程 MySQL 服务器

Question

I'm trying to set up a MySQL server on Windows that will allow another computer to connect to it remotely. The client computer is getting a 'Can't connect to MySQL server' error in MySQL Workbench.

Both computers are on the same network, and the server is using a static IP address (I have forwarded ports in my router to allow external connections to the public IP address).

What I've tried (suggested by other threads):

• In my.ini, setting bind-address = 0.0.0.0 / commenting out bind-address / commenting out skip-networking
• Running GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'USERNAME'@'IP' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD'; . When I run this, I get the error Using GRANT statement to modify existing user's properties other than privileges is deprecated and will be removed in a future release ; however I can confirm that in Workbench, the user's privileges are all checked (under the 'Users and Privileges' screen).
• In my router settings, forwarded port 3306 on the server's static IP address
• Disabling the Windows Firewall on the server.
• Verified that the MySQL Server Windows Service is running.

Can anyone advise?

Ref: Try connecting with mysql cli instead of work bench from the remote machine, so u can isolate that cli client ur able to access the remote DB. because the following reason might be causing connectivity issue in Workbench.

mysql cli cmd install mysql.exe client program from cmd prompt> mysql -hhostname -uusername -ppass dbname

Cannot connect to Database server (mysql workbench)

In MySQL Workbench (5.2.47 CE)

click Mange Server Instances (bottom right corner)

click Connection

in the Connection box select:

Local Instance ($ServerName) - root@127.0.0.1:3306 '<'Standard(TCP/IP)>

click Edit Selected...

under Parameters, Hostname change localhost or 127.0.0.1 to your NetBIOS name

click Test Connection
