Close, but no cigar.  The OP wrote:

connect to MySQL server on '192.168.1.1' (113)'

Errno 113 is EHOSTUNREACH.  Either there is no route to the MySQL server, 
or it locally-connected and not answering ARP's, or something is filtering 
the traffic.  Check your routing table and the filters on both machines and 
any network devices you might have between them.
