So what I m trying to do is to connect from my asp.net FREE HOST to a MySql FREE HOST. Is this connection possible? Of course I m getting a error due to the specified connection. I think that the problem is the free hosting that does not allow such a connection to their servers, what' s your opinion?
By the way I m having huge problems with mssql so i can't host on somee.com which would be the best way, but It would me take me like a week to do that.

I think that the problem is the free hosting that does not allow such a connection to their servers, what' s your opinion?

Usually not with free hosting. You should check your cPanel (or WHM) if it's possible to allow an IP address for external connection (Remote MySQL Access).

Ok I hope that this is the problem(I ll pay them then but first I ll check it).My second question is, will somee.com free asp.net package allow me to make this external connection since it's a free package that I m using?

Wouldn't it be easier to contact their sales department?

My friend suggested me something else, he s got a good package at some popular hosting company.... I ll try to sort things out tomorrow and I ll give some feedback.
