Can you connect to that database server (at that IP address, and using that user name and password) using any other client? That is, have you at least confirmed that the problem is in your Java code and not some more general connectivity problem that has nothing to do with your code?

It would help to get some more information about what steps you have taken to try to diagnose the problem.
