无法通过IP地址连接到MySQL

Question

I tried to use google, but it seems that there is no solution, at least not to my case.

i'm a C# programmer, and recenly I decided to try out to build some application which use data.
For that, I started to using MySQL.

Currently, I have installed:

  - MySQL Community Server 5.5.20
  - MySQL Workbench 5.2.37

In the workbench I have Server Instance that has hostname = localhost .
I have a connection too, which poining to the hostname = localhost .
It works perfect.
I finished the development of my application, and it works perfect with the database.

As for the problem:

Now, I want my application to work from other machines.
For that, I changed the following:

  1) From the workbench: I removed the Server Instance containing localhost.
  2) I created new Server Instance, but now I chose "Remote Host" and I
     put my IP Adress: 79.179.XX.XXX (X - to hide my ip there)
     and then I pressed next.

Now, while it trying to test the connection it says:
Can't connect to MySQL server on '79.179.XX.XXX' (10061)

My application also can't open the connection when I change the hostname
in the connection string to my ip.
Note: I has router, and I forwarded 3306 port and the port is opened. If you need any information I will edit and write.

What can be the problem there?
How can I fix it? Thank you.

Answer 1

检查my.cnf文件，以确保未启用跳过网络。

Answer 2

Assuming that your user name is blammy , did you setup a blammy@79.179.xxx.xxx in mysql? If no, then you need to do so.

Try using the mysql client to connect to 79.179.xxx.xxx, if the account is the cause, then login should fail here as well.
