can't connect to db/ server

don't know if this is the right place, but anyway...
trying to connect remotely to a mysql database hosted on windows 2003 remote
server.
Can connect locally but not remotely.
Excluding db server setup is there anything on the server that could be
blocking?
How would I check to ensure port 3306 is open?
Any other suggestions would be a helpYou can use a port scanning utility. Here is the link to a
description of one you can download from MS:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310099
Other than that, you may want to try a forum or newsgroup
specifically for MySQL.
