I am trying to telnet from my laptop (W7 x64) to my Linux (Centos) server using port 3306 and it's just not letting me. Im using a laptop and a Linux machine (x86) both on my home network 192.168.0.x via a router.
The full error I get from Windows-7 laptop cmd window is:
Connecting To 192.168.0.5...Could not open connection to the host, on port 3306:
Connect failed
I've done hours of research on this, and have tried practically everything and am at a loss. I can use port 80 ok.
These are the things I've tried:
- using port 80 (worked fine)
- ping 192.168.0.5 (worked fine)
- ssh to
root@192.168.0.5 (worked fine)
- I run Kaspersky firewall on my laptop (Windows 7 x64) and have opened ports 3306 across TCP & UDP protocols
I've changed the iptables on Linux and it is listening to port 3306 as far as I know; I used linux command: netstat -an | grep 3306 and it returned a line with information containing "tcp" and "LISTEN" as well as "192.168.0.5:3306" (the IP address being the linux server - ie itself)
the mysqld daemon is running (it's ALWAYS running!)
Please someone help - ask me all questions, hopefully I can answer them ;)
