can't connect to database

i just downloaded the trial version of dbforge for mysql and my goal is to use the data compare feature. my source database is being hosted on a godaddy server. i used the information from my config file so i'm sure the host name and user credentials are correct, but i keep getting the following error:
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mmurray8210.db.3441688.hostedresource.com' (10061):
Server did not respond within the specified timeout interval

i'm wondering if the port is incorrect. i left it on the default port of 3306. does anyone have any experience connecting to a godaddy hosted mysql db? or any other suggestions as to why i can't get connected?

thanks!

Try to increase the connection timeout. Default value is 15 seconds. You can find this setting in Database Connection Properties dialog box on Advanced page.

thanks for the reply. changing the timeout didn't work either. i ended up moving to a different hosting and i got connected no problem.
