Hi, The error seems that your system is not able to communicate with 203.1123.28.111 on port 113. Have you checked whether the port 113 is open or not on 203.1123.28.111. You can test it by the following commands,
# nmap 203.1123.28.111 # telnet 203.1123.28.111 113 If the port is open than it may be that the firewall is restricting access on that port. You don't need to disable the firewall for this, you can just write a simple iptables rule for allowing access on port 113 by the following command, # iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 113 -j ACCEPT # iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 113 -j ACCEPT save the rules and test. ----------- Muzaffar Ansari +91 9224339939 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ---- From: Agnello George <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2007 3:01:04 PM Subject: [linuxvadapav] mysql remote connection error Hi i am trying to connet to a mysql databse whose servers IP is( 203.1123.28. 111 ) from a remote PC and get the following errors [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# mysql -h 203.1123.28. 111 -u root -p Enter password: ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 203.1123.28. 111 (113) Also on the server i cannot stop the firewall setting cuse of security reasons ..... most of the help on line say that the problem is resolved if the server's fire wall is disabled .
