Hello all. I'm trying to connect an applet to a mysql database using the jconnector. I've had success using localhost, ie:
jdbc:mysql://localhost/my_db
but when I put in the Ip address instead:
jdbc:mysql://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/my_db
it simply doesn't work. My research I've done so far indicates it may have something to do with granting access for the user, however I couldn't see any problems there, and those people I found online that did, also had error messages returned, and I don't seem to get any error reports in the java console.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated as I've spent quite a bit of time on this to no avail.

Thanks in advance!
