Unable to Connect to EOC

[AznThinkingCap]

Alright sorry if the answer is right under my nose but I've been trying to use EOC for the past few hours but I keep getting the " Cannot connect to server!
Cannot connect to database peq " error. I get my IP from What's my IP and try to login with:

IP Address: My.Ip.Address.Etc:3306
DB: PEQ
Login Info: As entered into my database and created.

Whenever I run a port check it shows 3306 as timed out or not path depending on how I mess around on it for my router. I'm seriously stumped after a few hours. Any help would be appreciated, and sorry for all the trouble.

Assuming your login info is correct, it's likely a port issue.

Is your server hosted on your machine or another machine/vm? I was having a lot of issues that turned out to be windows firewall services. I ended up having to completely repair/reinstall them.

The VM is run on my machine. Thank you for the reply.
