MySQL frontend with firewall settings

[PeterHar]

Hi,
I'm trying to negotiate my way around a firewall, i have an existing ASP site connected to a MySQL database. Now i can access it fine from home, but my new workplace has a firewall which i can't seem to negotiate with MySQL-Front.

I've sorted out my FTP app, so that i can upload files, but i'm struggling to find a solution which will allow me to access the database.

I've tried MySQL Control Centre, but that doesn't seem to have the necessary functionality either.

Any suggestions would be most welcome, even if it's not free.

Many thanks
Peter

It sounds to me like the firewall at your workplace is blocking port 3306, which is the default MySQL port.

Unless you have a static, non-NAT IP address which you use from home, I recommend that you leave it that way. Exposing any database to the Internet is unwise.
