That's cracked it. I changed the driver to v17 (from 11) and it connects with no issues. I think the hosting company has uprated the server I couldn't connect to so it didn't allow driver v11 to connect, whilst the other two servers I had no trouble with still allowed v11 to connect OK.
Many thanks for your help, I can now continue with my development/text work!
Great to hear that changing the driver to v17 resolved the connection issue! It sounds like the hosting company upgraded the server, causing v11 to fail. For anyone needing reliable hosting services, you can buy VPS online from HostNoc to ensure seamless connectivity. Thanks for your help, and good luck with your development work!
