problem with database connection

[shellll]

I am completely new to databases, etc.
But I set up a mysql database with my godaddy account, and then thought i
would try to connect to it using dreamweaver. so i selected the connection--
and entered the whole connection string that it asked for, but my the life of
me, it will not connect.

It says SQL server does not exist or access denied.

I have no idea if i am supposed to be creating some files. And I can't find
anyone who has any very beginner stages advice for this problem, other than
reading about a million people bemoan godaddy and their databases. and text
books are no good because they are super technical and just don't apply to this.

help please someone.

oh... this is what my connection string looks like (as dreamweaver gives you
the prompts and you just fill it in)

"Persist Security Info=True;
Data Source=mysql105.secureserver.net;
Initial Catalog=shelleytest;
User ID=shelleytest;
Password=123456"

and to my best knowledge all of these things are correct...
