Very slow connection time over network.

My application is a Java Swing app that connects to a MySQL 5.0 database on a Mac Mini on the network. When the application is running on the same computer as the database (Mac Mini), it runs fine. However, when any other computer tries to acces it, it takes 1 to 2 mins to connect to the database. Any ideas on where to start? Thank you for your help!!

  1. Check your DNS servers are not taking forever to respond or use “skip-name-resolve” in your my.cnf and add your accounts with IP address.

  2. Check your network duplex settings(they should be the same on both sides) on both the server and client machines, also any switches/routers/hubs.
