Remote connection to MySQL

Question

I am trying in Java to connect remotely to a database and use the following code:
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class Test {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Connection con = null;
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance ();
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://llsti.org:3306/universalaccess?user=*****&password=****");
if(!con.isClosed())
System.out.println("Successfully connected to " +
"MySQL server using TCP/IP...");
} catch(Exception e) {
System.err.println("Exception: " + e.getMessage());
} finally {
try {
if(con != null)
con.close();
} catch(SQLException e) {}
But it doesnt do anything.. it compiles properly but then it just stuck in getConnection(). it doesnt print thereafter.
Any suggestion would be of great help.
Thanks,
Akhil

Hi,
So what network settings I am suppose to perform? I
would be really greatful for any more suggestions.
I cannot put this really any clearer because it's been told to you before. You are getting a 2003 error. This is what the MySQL site has to say about that error.
The error (2003) Can't connect to MySQL server on 'server' (10061) indicates that the network connection has been refused. You should check that there is a MySQL server running, that it has network connections enabled, the network port you specified is the one configured on the server, and that the TCP/IP port you are using has not been blocked by a firewall or port blocking service.
Please talk to your local network administrator and/or the administrator of the MySQL database for assistance. Either the database is not listening on that port or there is a firewall blocking your access either at your end or at the server end.
This is NOT a Java problem. You cannot connect using any other tool to this database.
