Cannot Connect To MYSQL DB From Shared Folder

Question

Hi

I am running a very simple app that tries to connect to a MYSQL DB. When I compile and run on my local C drive, it connects with no problem. But when I compile and run the same exact dode on a shared drive (f drive), I get the Exception below. I've searched the NET everywhere. I've seen others with this problem but have not been able to find a solution. Any ideas why this is happening?

Here's my program:


class Program
{
MySqlConnection connection;

public Program()
{
initDBConnection();
OpenConnection();
}


static void Main(string[] args)
{
new Program();

}
public void initDBConnection()
{
string server;
string database;
string uid;
string password;

server = "SomeServer.com";
//server = "lxsrnetservpd01.and.ma.zwickerpc.com";
//database = "DebtorDocData";
database = "SomeDB";
uid = "SomeUSERID";
password = "SomePASSWORD";
string connectionString;
connectionString = "SERVER=" + server + ";" + "DATABASE=" +
database + ";" + "UID=" + uid + ";" + "PASSWORD=" + password + ";";
connection = new MySqlConnection(connectionString);

}
public bool OpenConnection()
{
try
{
connection.Open();
Console.WriteLine("CONNECTED");
return true;
}
catch (MySqlException ex)
{
//When handling errors, you can your application's response based
//on the error number.
//The two most common error numbers when connecting are as follows:
//0: Cannot connect to server.
//1045: Invalid user name and/or password.
switch (ex.Number)
{
case 0:
Console.WriteLine("Cannot connect to server. Contact administrator");
break;
case 1042:
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
Console.WriteLine(ex.StackTrace);
Console.WriteLine(ex.InnerException);
Console.WriteLine(ex.Number);
break;
case 1045:
Console.WriteLine("Invalid username/password, please try again");
break;
}
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
Console.ReadLine();
return false;
}
}// OpenConnection
