Network Error (tcp_error)

Cheryl Wayland

I am new to BIRT and would like to see if it meets our reporting needs. I am trying to use BIRT from my laptop (Windows 7) to create a report which accesses a mysql database on a Linux server. I am using the com.mysql.jdbc.Driver ( v5.1) driver and connecting to the mysql database using the URL: jdbc:mysql://servername:3306/databasename and the test connection is successful and event previewing the data from the Data Set is successful but when I try and run the report I get the error "Network Error (tcp_error)
A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out"
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.".
Has anyone seen this before and if so how do I overcome this?
Can I use BIRT from my Windows 7 laptop to access a mysql database running CentOS release 5.2?

What am I missing?

Can anyone tell me which port(s) and protocol(s) need to be open to run reports from BIRT. When I am connected to my corporate network I get the error below when trying to run a BIRT report that uses a MySQL datasource on my laptop. When I am disconnected from the network the BIRT report runs without issues. This leads me to believe that something on my network is blocking me from using BIRT but I don't know what it is. Any information about this would be appreciated.

Error:
"Network Error (tcp_error)

Thanks
