body: <p>I'm having a right nightmare trying to link Microsoft Access to MySQL.</p>
  
  <p>I have selected the ODBC 3.51 to connect to mysql on access</p>
  
  <p><strong>Details required:</strong>
  <br>
  TCP / IP - mysql8.namesco.net OR IP Address <br>
  Named Pipe - BLANK<br>
  Username - <strong>** <br>
  Password - **</strong> <br>
  Port - 3306 (Default) <br>
  Database name <br></p>
  
  <p>After I enter the above details i'm prompted with the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Connection failed:[hy000][mysql][odbc 3.51 driver]Cant connect to MYSQL server on 'mysql8.names.net' (10061)<br>/<br></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I get the same error when I use ODBC 5.1 Driver:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Connection failed:[hy000][mysql][odbc 5.1 driver]Cant connect to MYSQL server on 'mysql8.names.net' (10061)</p>
