Ok getting infamous error:

"MYSQL Connection FAILED!- Check db.ini and did you install my PODBC drivers?"

host=XXX.XXX.XX.XX
user=xxxx
password=xxxxxxx
database=peq
everquest_folder=C:\UF\everquest
quest_folder=c:\EQEmu\quests

I am connecting remotely into a server, win7 64bit.
Steps completed already are:
- DL'd newest version of eqitems - 14.5.5
- ran the register_ocx file just fine in admin cmd prompt, all successful
- ran the "for %i in (*.ocx) do regsvr32 %i" in admin cmd prompt as well, in resources folder
- mqsql is installed and doesn't error out, I get the "mysql>" prompt in the monitor

What am I doing wrong?

There are some troubleshooting steps here: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/08/...nt-connection/

The first two will allow to discover if you have an issue with ports not being forwarded properly or if the remote user is not setup properly depending on the error message you receive.

To troubleshoot the actual tools I would recommend installing the database locally and making sure that works to verify if you have an driver (odbc) issue or something wrong with your configuration file.

ODBC is installed correctly, no errors, and I triple checked that all were successfully installed the correct way. Is there a simple walkthrough somewhere that will explain how 1 person can remotely access another persons server files to modify/add mobs, quests or items?

I have given you all the information you need in order to do what you want, you just need to troubleshoot and find out where the problem is.

I know you say that everything is fine with odbc, but the fact remains that something is not working. Installing the database locally to ensure the tools work there eliminates the local issues so you can concentrate on solving the remote access issue versus struggling with that and the possibility that there is something else wrong locally.

Call to ODBC open connection started
Call to ODBC open connection created
Call to ODBC open connection string completed
Call to ODBC open connection failed <--- Failing step

This was the direct question I was asking about, port 3306 is open on the router
