Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)

When attempting to connect to a database on a secondary machine on the network I get the following error
---
Cannot connect to database server
com.mysql.jdbc.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure due to underlying exception:

** BEGIN NESTED EXCEPTION **

java.net.SocketException
MESSAGE: java.net.NoRouteToHostException: No route to host: connect

My code that I am using for this is

import java.sql.*;

public class db {

	public static void main(String[] args) 
	{
		Connection conn = null;

        try
        {
            String userName = "myusername";
            String password = "mypass";
            String url = "jdbc:mysql://foobar/fooooo";
            Class.forName ("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance ();
            conn = DriverManager.getConnection (url, userName, password);
            System.out.println ("Database connection established");
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.err.println ("Cannot connect to database server");
            System.out.println(e);
        }
        finally
        {
            if (conn != null)
            {
                try
                {
                    conn.close ();
                    System.out.println ("Database connection terminated");
                }
                catch (Exception e) { /* ignore close errors */ }
            }
        }
		
	}
}
