Hi all!

I am trying to connect to a remote MySQL database using VB.NET. This database is located on my LAN at the address 192.168.1.2. I am using MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51 (MyODBC 3.51) for the connection. It is installed on my computer and on the IP I am trying to connect to.

The connection string that I am using is the following-

Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};Server=192.168.1.2;Database=mydb;User=root; Password=;Option=3;

The error message that I get in VB not too intuitive - System.EventArgs

When I try to Add Data Source from the Control Panel I get-

[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.1.2' (10060)

XAMPP is running on 192.168.1.2, do I need to do any any other config changes? I am using root to connect, yet not getting the connection.

  • You can enable syntax highlighting of source code with the following tags: <code>, <blockcode>, <c>, <cpp>, <drupal5>, <drupal6>, <java>, <javascript>, <php>, <python>, <ruby>. Beside the tag style "<foo>" it is also possible to use "[foo]". PHP source code can also be enclosed in <?php ... ?> or <% ... %>.
