I want to connect to a MySQL database but the only connection available is a telephone line, a dial-up connection. I'm using vb.net 2005 Express for my project. All local connections are working the only problem is how can i get the server to connect, like IP to connect to establish a connection.
Thanks!

I have set up an Azure SQL server and database. In the dashboard, I am selecting the SQL Database to copy the server name (xxxxxx.database.windows.net).
I am creating a new connection in MySQL workbench and putting this servername as host.
The port I am putting is 1433.
After entering username and password, I am testing the connection. I am getting the following error, as the connection is not getting established between my database/server on Azure and workbench. The error is:
Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error:104
Any suggestions on making me understand why is it happening and how can the connection be made will be highly appreciated.
Your post is confusing, are you using Azure SQL Database or Azure Database for MySQL? The name format "xxxxxx.database.windows.net" is for Azure SQL Database, which you should not use MySQL workbench to connect. I'd suggest you switch to SSMS and try again.
I have a Web App running on Azure. I can connect to the DB with Visual Studio and sending/retrieving data on my app works fine.
However, I can not connect to the MySQL db using MySQL Workbench.
The error that I have is
Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 54
I have whitelisted my IP on the azure portal and opened the port 1433 on my computer. I don't understand why can't I connect using MySQL Workbench while having no problem with Visual Studio.
EDIT:
Here is how i have setup MySQL Workbench:
And Here is my Azure portal:
I'm using port 1433 because that is the port given on the Azure Portal, but also in this tutorial: Connect to Azure DB using MySQL Workbench
Ok - now that you included screenshots: You're trying to use MySQL Workbench to connect to a SQL Database (which is SQL Server as a service, not MySQL).
Edit: 8/15/2017
Azure now offers Azure Database for MySQL which is currently in public preview.
In your specific case, you created a SQL Database, which cannot be manipulated with MySQL Workbench.
Trying to create an ODBC connection from a server to MySQL server. installed 5.1 ODBC driver on the server I want to connect from. when I go to test the connection - the MySql server denies access to user -- then it lists the username with a "#servername.domain.com" appended to it. why is the ODBC appeneding that? so clearly we are connecting to the MySQL server. Both serers are in the same domain behind the firewall. is there somethign on the MySQL server need to configure?
I know how to use ODBC to connect to a MySQL database on the same machine, but now I want to know how to connect to a MySQL database on another server across the network.
Write the database computer's name or IP-address after Server= in the connection string.
For example:
Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;User=myUsername; Password=myPassword;Option=3;

I want my vb application to communicate with a MySql database on server on a LAN. What connection string can i use? Also, what syntax can i use? My application is installed on many computers in LAN with one central MySql database. I want all data to go to the database.
For connection strings try connectionstrings.com (1st result when googling 'MySQL Connection String')
