[DUG] Data Explorer - Connection open failed

[Nick]

hehe, sorry that "" should read
"Connection open failed".

And I can connect to the mysql server on my local machine 127.0.0.1
But can't connect to the database server, even though all the 
permissions are right and it can accept connections from my machine

Can dbExpress -> mysql connect to non localhost mysql ?
