well it's interesting that your username and dbname are the same..

i pinged p41mysql103.secureserver.net and it's good and quick.

so i'd just make sure that the FULL dbname and username is used..

sometimes if you create a dbname like 'ubbthreads', the host will give you an actuall db name of username_ubbthreads... same goes for usernames in the db...

i can't tell for sure without seeing the actual info.. which you shouldn't paste here laugh
