firewall issue...

you also need to pay attention to any firewalls...

some hosting companies have a firewall that blocks external access on the DB ports and only allows usual internet traffic such as HTTP, POP, etc...

if such a firewall is present between the network your webserver is on and the new network your DB is on, you will not be able to connect to the db at all... (or at least without fooling around with access ports, or redirecting them, either way its not easy...)
