MySQL Forums :: JDBC and Java :: DB connection url for MySQL

Hello,

I am new at MySQL. I downloaded a MySQL 5.5, and play with it with a sample JAVA sample program. I could connect the JAVA program to MySQL 5.5, if the JAVA program is on the same computer with MySQL 5.5.

My db connection url is as the following, and it works fine if the JAVA program and MySQL 5.5 are on same computer.

jdbc.databaseurl=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test

I want to try to put the JAVA program on another computer. I changed the db connection url by using the computer (with MySQL 5.5) name like the following, but the JAVA program got the “Connection refused” exception.

jdbc.databaseurl=jdbc:mysql://mysqlpc:3306/test

Can someone please give me some direction for this?

Thank you!
