Connecting to Remote DB using JDBC, Connection Time Out (no replies)

I am trying to just edit my mysql database from a remote ip address(my house). The server is at a friends house and we are just doing some development. I am fairly new to mysql and networking but I know my way around for the most part. I am stuck at the moment and not sure what I am missing or doing wrong. Thank You

-I have edited the bind address file and commented it out to accept all ip address.
-I have granted permissions to my user at the ip address that I am using at my house. Show Grants for user@ipaddress shows the persmissions were granted.
-3306 Port was opened on mysql server.

Java App code is below and the stack trace is posted below that.



public static void main(String args[]){
String user = "user";
String pass = "pass";
String dbtime;
String dbUrl = "jdbc:mysql://ipaddress:3306/ASN";
String dbClass = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
String query = "Select * FROM users";

try {

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection (dbUrl, user, pass);
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);

while (rs.next()) {
dbtime = rs.getString(1);
System.out.println(dbtime);
} //end while

con.close();
} //end try

catch(ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

catch(SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

} //end main

}
