title: cant access remote mysql server need help
body: <p>I have a unix server with mysql which I am trying to access from my machine. To clarify, access the mysql server. When I do I get this error.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Connecting to MySQL server 192.168.1.25...
  Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.1.25' (10061)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here are my credentials:</p>
  
  <pre><code>username: root
  port: 3306
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The server is running because I am able to remotely login onto the machine (with ip: 192.168.1.25" and then run mysql from root. What do you think is going on:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is it a firewall issue?</li>
  <li>Accessing as 'root' is being denied? </li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I am new to mysql.  </p>
