java.net.ConnectException MESSAGE: Connection timed out: connect

Question

My code:

package staffrecords;

import com.mysql.jdbc.Connection;
import com.mysql.jdbc.Statement;
import java.sql.DriverManager;  
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;

public class StaffRecords {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Connection con = null;
        Statement st = null;
        ResultSet rs = null;

        String databaseName = "SEGA";
        //String loginUrl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3307/" + databaseName;
        String loginUrl = "jdbc:mysql://dbprojects.eecs.qmul.ac.uk:3306/" + databaseName;
        String user = "SEGA";        
        String password = "*****";

        try 
        {                      
            con = (Connection) DriverManager.getConnection(loginUrl, user, password);
            st = (Statement) con.createStatement();
            String sql;
            sql = "SELECT StaffID FROM Staff";
            rs = st.executeQuery(sql);

            if (rs.next())
            {
                String staffID = rs.getString("StaffID");

                System.out.print("StaffID: " + staffID);
            }         
            rs.close();
            st.close();
            con.close();
        } 
        catch (SQLException ex) 
        {
            System.out.println(ex);
        }      
    }
}

And the error is:

com.mysql.jdbc.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure due to underlying exception:

** BEGIN NESTED EXCEPTION **

** END NESTED EXCEPTION **

Last packet sent to the server was 2 ms ago. BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 24 seconds)

Is there a simple solution to get the code to print out all the StaffID values in the table Staff?

I did a quick online port scan for that address and it looks like the server side is not listening on port 3306. Maybe firewall configuration? Or just stopped server/wrong address.
