MySQL Server not accepting connections

You cannot connect to MySQL from an external application on our hosting.

Additionally, our servers are set up to not respond to pings for security purposes and so we can keep the servers fast for their appropriate functions.

Also, if you try to ping any of the sql servers from your home machine, it will either fail or it will respond with a device from your local network, as 192.168.0.x is a local address.
