telnet . Can't get hostname for your address

Question

i have a program that should work with the database (mysql). The database is on a dedicated server.

I want to connect to the database through Remote Desktop. I read that it is possible to check the entered

telnet ip-dedicated-server 3306

On the old remote desktop it worked, but the new remote desktop when I try to connect to a database displays

Can't get hostname from your ip address

I found the solution

in the mysql server configuration, my.ini or my.cnf , below

[mysqld]

add

skip-name-resolve

AND make restart mysql server

Just imagine, we are not sitting on your knees and observed what you are doing, nor do we know everything about your environment and try to explain it again in your question: What did you want to achieve? What are the participants in your try? What did you expect and for what reason did you expect it? — junix, Feb 22 '15 at 08:23
sorry, I have a program that should work with the database (mysql). On the old VDS, it worked, but on the new VDS when connecting to the database displays "Can't get hostname from your ip address" I want to connect to the database through the VDS. I read that it is possible to input validation Telnet IP VDS 3306 I want to find solutions — summerokk, Feb 22 '15 at 08:35
And VDS stands for what again? To me it sounds like you have a problem with your reverse-DNS setup. What's the result of nslookup ? btw: Try to edit your question and improve it instead of putting all the details in the comments. This might attract others to hand in an answer... — junix, Feb 22 '15 at 08:40
Perfect. Turned my down vote into an up vote as it is now a question that one can understand and you even proposed your own solution :-) One remark here: turing name-resolve off removes the ability of MySQL to check logins against a whitelist of hostnames, it only uses IP addresses instead: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/host-cache.html (3rd but last paragraph) — junix, Feb 22 '15 at 11:10
