Lost connection to MySQL during query in my ODBC connection

I am trying to connect Visual Studio 2005 here in the Philippines to a MySQL server in CA, USA using the Connector/ODBC using the following parameters:

DSN = mysqlodbc

Server = host376.ipowerweb.com

userid = myuid

password = mypassword

when i used the port 3036 i got the can't connect to MySQL on server blabla(10060)

when i used the port 8087 i got the "Lost connection to MySQL during query.

How do i connect successfully?
