hi,

Do you see the mysql port from your client on your lan ?
Can you access the database from the server in command line or in ssh ?
Are you sure about the login,pwd used with your application ?
Do you had an incident recently with your server ?

Somewhere in mysql is a setup who says that mysql cand be accessed only from localhost.
I can not find the mysql.cnf file. That is my problem. I know how to resovle the problem. But I dont know wehere is conf file.

PS: Escuse my poor English.

you need to create a user for those you 'll grant some priviles on your local network

exemple

[root@server html]# mysql
mysql> grant all on my_database.* to my_user@localhost identified by “password”
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> \q

There is two things, the first is a user with permissions to access over the network.  An example has already been provided.

The second is allowing mysql to be available on the local network.  This piece of information is availble through a search which I will leave as an exercise to the reader.
