i'm having the same issue with remote access as well... even though i put in % as a wild card and my own actual ip into the remote access sql ip, it didn't work.. i'm working on johnny by the way. if i use localhost to access, it worked perfectly. If accessing via Localhost: Successfully connected to the server 'johnny.heliohost.org' MySQL client info: 5.0.92 Successfully connected to the database 'shoeme_shoeme' If accessing remotely: Could not connect to the server 'johnny.heliohost.org' A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'shoeme_shoeme'
