  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong>
  Here is the error code i am getting:</p>
  
  <p>[Window Title]
  MySQL Workbench</p>
  
  <p>[Main Instruction]
  Cannot Connect to Database Server</p>
  
  <p>[Content]
  Your connection attempt failed for user 'username' from your host to server at xxxxxxxxx.database.windows.net:1433:
    Lost connection to MySQL server at 'waiting for initial communication packet', system error: 10060</p>
  
  <p>Please:
  1 Check that mysql is running on server xxxxxx.database.windows.net
  2 Check that mysql is running on port 1433 (note: 3306 is the default, but this can be changed)
  3 Check the username has rights to connect to xxxxxx.database.windows.net from your address (mysql rights define what clients can connect to the server and from which machines) 
  4 Make sure you are both providing a password if needed and using the correct password for xxxxxxx.database.windows.net connecting from the host address you're connecting from</p>
