figured it out. it has something to do with my router and it not being properly forwarded. since there isnt a place in the db.ini to specify the port, I dont think the router knows where to send the request for the database. I tested this out on a website hosting account I have that allowed for mysql databases. I was able to connect fine to that with these tools.
Anyways, thanks for all the views but no replys since it had me stumped as well. lol
