can you share your connectionstring? the problem might be lies in the connectionstring.

The problem can be anywhere form network connectivity issue, remote database configuration to local connection string.
Try to ping remote host to see if network is OK.
Are you able to connect to remote database using MySQL admin tools?
Does the database you're trying to connect to allow remote connections?
Check IP/hostname and credentials in your connection string, user and password might be different for remote database.

I have done this many times. Check network as sjelen stated. If connection string and network are OK, then you might have a permission problem. What you should test is to allow anyone to access the database/table. Once it works you can reduce permission levels. Also check this: http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/user_management.
