I get this error message when I click connect:

You need to ensure that the DB allows remote connections as well. Check the permissions on the users and databases.

This is an example:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'192.168.1.%'
    IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD 'some_characters'  
    WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
