----------------------------------------------------------- From: SarunMK Message 4 in Discussion Hi, I downloaded the MySql driver for Pocket PC from the site, http://www.crlab.com/ and I was able to connect to the database residing in our company's LAN, as well as our company's database server. These two databases are installed in Windows machine. But, I am not able to connect to the database that resides in the Unix server, in Germany, where as, now I am writing from India. The connection string I provided in the application is as follows: public static string strmySqlConn = "User Id=Dummy_User;Password=Dummy_Password;Host=xxx.xx.xx.xx;Database=DB_Name;Port=3307"; I am able to 'ping' to the IP Address of their database server, which means it is public IP. But, I am not able to connect to the server through application. What can be the reason? If the database is behind the firewall, will that create any problem? I downloaded ODBC driver for windows from the site, http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html I created a windows application and tried to connect using ODBC Connection. That also didnt give any result. I was not able to connect. Meanwhile, I was able to connect to the database in our LAN as well as our Company's database server. So, what can be the reason? Is it beacause, the live server is running on Unix or is it because the database is behind the firewall? If it is behind the firewall, what should be done? So also, .NET Compact framework doesnot support System.Data.Odbc. So, Odbc conneciton is not possible for Pocket PC application. How can I connect to the database? Will I be able to connect using the driver provided by Corelab? Please help me to find the solution.
