MySQL connection "Timeout waiting for client"

Meiner sieht komplett jetzt so aus:

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h> 
#include <MySQL_Connection.h>
#include <MySQL_Cursor.h>

WiFiClient client;                 // Use this for WiFi instead of EthernetClient
MySQL_Connection conn(&client);
MySQL_Cursor* cursor;

// <= 31 Zeichen
const char *ssid = "SSID";
// >= 8 oder <= 63 Zeichen oder NULL
const char *password = "wlanPwd";

char stmt[256];

//#define REMOTE 1  // wenn RemoteDB einkommentieren
#ifdef REMOTE
char dbuser[] = "rDBUser";               // MySQL user login username
char dbpassword[] = "rDBPwd";         // MySQL user login password
char hostname[] = "rDB-Hostname";
char db[] = "rDBName";          // DB-Name
IPAddress server_ip;
#else
char dbuser[] = "lDBUser";
char dbpassword[] = "lDBPwd";
IPAddress server_ip = {192,168,178,34};  // lokale IP des DB-Servers
char hostname[] = ""; // kein Hostname!
char db[] = "lDBname";
#endif

uint32_t lastMillis;

void printRes(int res) {
  if (res==1) Serial.println("OK");
  else Serial.println("NOT OK");
}

void setup() {
int counter = 0;  // Counter für Verbindung zum WLAN
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println("\nStart");

  WiFi.persistent(false);
  // Betrieb als Station
  WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  // Wait for connection
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay (500);
    Serial.print(".");
    counter++;
    if (counter > 100) {
      Serial.println("Kein WLAN. Restart!");
      ESP.restart();
    }
  }
  Serial.print("\nConnected to ");
  Serial.println(ssid);
  Serial.print("IP address: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
  
  if (hostname[0]) {  // hostname --> remote
      WiFi.hostByName(hostname, server_ip);
      Serial.print("Remote-DB: ");
  } else Serial.print("Local DB: ");
  Serial.println(server_ip);
  Serial.println("\nConnecting to database . . .");
  if (conn.connect(server_ip, 3306, dbuser, dbpassword)) {
    Serial.println("DB-Connection ok.");
    cursor = new MySQL_Cursor(&conn);
    strcpy(stmt,"use ");
    strcat(stmt,db);    // Auswahl der Datenbank
    int res = cursor->execute(stmt); // 1=ok
    Serial.print("Res: ");  
    printRes(res);
    delay(500);
  }
  else {
    Serial.println("DB-Connection failed.");
    delay(10000);
    ESP.restart();
  }  
}

void loop() {

}
