I believe that MySQL uses a particular port when connecting over a
network such as you're doing. I can't remember the exact port number,
but you can Google it. Just check that there's nothing blocking this
port either on your computer, the server, or the router/switch or
whatever else you are using to connect the computers on the network

Any thoughts?

Well, for MySQL there are multiple user perms. In the user
table you may see multiple entries for, let's say root.
mysql> use mysql;
mysql> select host,user,password from user;
host user password
* root *22669F8A96AC3CE42B3E5E8087893840412E035F
localhost root
So, root, if accessing from localhost, requires NO paswword.
But root, accessing from any other host requires a password.
Also, this could have more host entries, but probably not by
default.
If your db server is on a different host from your web server,
this or similar is most likely your problem.

Or, there is no * entry (all hosts). In which case you should add
a specific entry for your web server.

I was trying to access MySQL on a remote server from an Excel
spreadsheet and I think it was port 3306 but I still haven't got it
working yet!

Install MyODBC and setup an ODBC connection on your PC.
