title: Not able to access mysql server using workbench on local network connection
body: <p>When I connect to the network using the local network connection I am unable to establish a connection to my server. It returns the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): (HY000/2002): A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. in C:\xxxx\htdocs\xxxx.xxxx\class\class.mysql.php on line 11
  Connect Error (2002) A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. 
  Warning: mysqli::close(): Couldn't fetch mysql in C:\xxxx\htdocs\xxxx.xxxx\class\class.mysql.php on line 59
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now when I <code>tether</code> through my phone I have no problems connecting to the server.</p>
  
  <p>My knowledge of networking is extremely ignorant so do forgive me if this is obvious, but what could some of the issues be stopping my connection to the server?</p>
