Hmm, did you check if the database-server really listens to the connection- requests? It might be the case that the database-server is only locally bound, that there are access-rights missing for your remote request or that there are certain portblocking/firewall-rules preventing a network-connection. Did you try connecting to the database using the native functions php provides (e.g.. mysql_connect() or whatever database you have)? Stefan
