I have been getting error 2003 while trying to connect to the host using this software. i realised that this was because i was trying to connect from behind a firewall. one of my mates suggested that we could open port 3306 only for my computer and leave the rest of the settings as it is. would that make a difference or is it impossible to connect from behind a firewall??????
Thanx for that. Being in a hurry, I sorta switched to plan B and installed a dial-up connection for using webyog. 😀 it's working just fine this way too.
There are indeed some software that it supposed to work through a firewall, such Real Player for example. But you will get only problems runing this software this way.
The best and ellegant way is to use this Microsoft Firewall Client
