MySQL DSN fails during handshake

[Xtort]

I am trying to connect to a MySQL database that is on another network. The port
has been opened, and I am able to connect to it via telnet (to test). I cannot
connect to it from my CFML MX7 admin when I am trying to create a DSN. I get
the following error.

Connection verification failed for data source: MWEB
java.sql.SQLException: Communication failure during handshake. Is there a
server running on xxx.xxxx.com:3306?
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: Communication failure during
handshake. Is there a server running on xxx.xxxx.com:3306?


Could this be because I have an out of date java handler? I know the remote
database is accessible from the computer, because I can connect to it via
mysql-admin from the same server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok following the recommendations at this link
[url]http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_19170[/url] I am able
to create the connection. Of course now it is saying that the username/password
is a problem. I think this has to do with the database priveleges, or possibly
how I am passing that information to the database.
