Re: can't to connect to server - error 10060

[Peng Han]

I have encountered the same problem and solved by combining suggestions from different forums as follows:

First you should configure the windows firewall so that it can allow the "TCP" connections on the PORT 3306.

Second, you should add the username 'root'@'remotemachinename' on your mysql server and grant all privileges to him. It is important that you must specify the 'remotemachinename'. Because if you connect from a different machine to mysql server with the 'root', it will not think it the same as the 'root' in the local server.
