I already turned off the firewall on the XP machine, but it doesn't work

the mysql database.
That's incorrect. The error message doesn't indicate that you connected
but the MySQL server rejected your connection. The message indicates
that you couldn't even get a connection to the port.
The problem lies in your XP machine. Try telnetting to port 80 (HTTP
port) of various machines and see if you can get a connection. If
not, that'll tell you that you cannot get any outbound connection.
If so, is there any way to enable the XP machine to access the database?
Thanks a lot for your reply.

then I tried 'telnet':
telnet aaa.bbb.ca or telnet aaa.bbb.ca:3306
both case, it said: Could not connected to the host , on port 23:
connect
failed.
Your second example is invalid -- it should be `aaa.bbb.ca 3306` --
so it's not surprising that didn't work :-)
But the first one is OK, and shows that this has nothing whatsoever
to do with MySQL; you'll have to find out why your XP machine is not
apparently able to create outbound connections.
Good luck,
