After researching the connection problem I found the following could be causing the failures:
Process of Elimination Report
- Firewall - Disabled my firewall. Test: FAIL
- Whitelist my local IP - After whitelisting my IP address with the Host. Test: FAIL
- Search for IP address of DNS ( https://dnschecker.org/ip-location.php ). After finding the IP of my DNS, I entered it in as Host. I then tried Port 3306. Test: FAIL
- I then left the Port blank. Test: BINGO!
- We’re connected! The tables are in view!
