title: MySQL unable to connect with remote server
body: <p>We have a MySQL server in one of the remote Virtual Machine (Windows Server 2008). Till yesterday we were able to connect to the MySQL server, with the help of workbench installed in our local machine.</p>
  
  <p>Yesterday there was a restart to the machine which has the Virtual Machine installed. After that we are unable to connect to MYSQL. Though I can ping and remote connect this particular VM. I can even execute the queries inside the workbench installed in the VM.</p>
  
  <p>I am not too good at networking or security related stuffs. Please help me to solve this issue.</p>
