Difficulty to connect to MySQL database

KNIME Analytics Platform
1

Dear all,

I have difficulties to connect to a MySQL database via a VPN connection.
My setup is as follow:

Windows XP
KNIME 2.1.2
mysql-connector-java-5.1.12-bin
Cisco VPN Client 4.0.4
Open Office 3.2.0

Using OpenOffice Base I have no difficulties to connect to the MySQL database through the VPN connection using the same mysql-connector.

Using Knime w/o the VPN connector (at the remote site) the connection is established and one can retrieve information.

The message is:
WARN Database Reader java.sql.SQLException: java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException

Any idea ?

Thank you very much in advance for any input

Best regards,

Jürgen
