What's happen with this JDBC driver?

Question

Hi I have just started with JDBC, and I follow the steps from the Mysql drivers, but always receive the same error:
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:532)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:193)
at Connect.main(Connect.java:16)
My program is the following:
import java.sql.*;
public class Connect {
public static void main(String arg[]) throws Exception {
Connection con = null;
try {
// here is the JDBC URL for this database
// more on what the Statement and ResultSet classes do later
Statement stmt;
ResultSet rs;
// either pass this as a property, i.e.
// -Djdbc.drivers=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
// or load it here as we are doing in this example
// here is where the connection is made
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://arturo.flexdns.net:3306/arturo?user=root&password=arturo.mc.laa");
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
catch( SQLException e ) {
e.printStackTrace( );
finally {
if( con != null ) {
try { con.close(  ); }
catch( Exception e ) { }
Does anyone known why, What am I doing wrong?
Thank's very much in advance.

Hi,
I think you were right, but now I have got the following erro message, I have put everything in the PATH:
