Server accepting remote connections but not from federated tables (1429)

[Pedro Ten]

Hello,

ERROR 1429 (HY000): Unable to connect to foreign data source: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'remotehost' (13)


I'm getting this error when trying to select data from a federated table.
The local server connects successfully to other federated tables on different servers, but this one is not working.

I can successfully connect from the local server to the remote server via

mysql -u myuser -p -h remotehost -P 33306 (Yes, that's the port I'm using)

The ENGINE statement on the CREATE TABLE looks like this:
ENGINE=FEDERATED
CONNECTION='mysql://myuser:mypass@remotehost:33306/remotedb/remotetable'

Any clue? looks like accepts connections but not from federated tables...

Thanks in advance!
