For the ODBC, make sure the port is correct (MySQL normally uses 3306), that MySQL allows incoming TCP/IP connections, and that the user in question has access to connect and use the database you need.
You should be able to telnet to port 3306 and get some kind of response, even if it is just a blank screen.
