无法连接到mysql远程

Question

I have a client on linux and the mysql server on windows

I wanted to connect to mysql remotely 2 computers can ping each other without any problem in mysql server I set the permission correctly so the specified client is allowed to connect

WIN IP:  192.168.1.2
Linux IP:192.168.1.3

in windows system:

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'parsa'@'192.168.1.3' IDENTIFIED BY 'parsa';
flush all privileges;

in my linux,in my.cnf I wrote this line in mysqld section

bind-address=192.168.1.2

skip-networking was commented and I didn't change it I restarted the mysql

when I use

telnet 192.168.1.2 3306 

telnet:connect to address 192.168.1.2:Connection timed out

and using this command:

mysql -h 192.168.1.2 -u parsa -p parsa
Error 2003:can't connect to mysql server on 192.168.1.2

The firewalls in both sides are disabled what should I do?

command: net stats srv

Answer 1

Connection timed out can mean two things:

1. Your server is too busy to respond
2. There is a firewall between your client computer and the server which blocks the connection.

To see how busy the server is, use uptime . Load average > 10 means "busy". Load average < 1 means "idle".

If the server is idle, check for the firewall settings on the server, then check the client.
