SQL Port 3306

[webgow79]

HI Guys,

I'm having problems accessing my database from my work place - I think my problem is my work place network has port 3306 blocked.

Is there any way I could get access to this through 3307 ?
From what I've read in on this forum - this is not possible - but maybe someone could confirm ?

On a separate note - does anyone know of an easy way to find out / confirm which of my ports are blocked and which are open ?

BTW: many thanks for your support up to now - I know some if my queries may be relatively simple - but, as I am new to this - I am doing my best to find the answers elsewhere before opening a support ticket.

Remote MySQL is disabled on free accounts so you can't access MySQL from anywhere but the server itself.
If it were enabled, you would have to use port 3306.

Thanks - sorry if this is a double post -
I must have another problem so.. I'm not trying to access remotely.

below is my script :
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("www.agritest.x10.bz:3306","gowenx10_root","admin");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}

// some code
?>

But I get the following error:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111 in /home/gowenx10/public_html/index.php on line 2
Could not connect: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111

use "localhost" instead of "www.agritest.x10.bz:3306"

use "localhost" as the host.
