I don't understand that idiom for a MySQL DSN. The normal way is

	dbi:mysql:my_database;host=168.73.26.86

I would be surprised if any DBI program would connect with that DSN.
Have you tried it?

Also, you don't need to specify 3306 as the port, that is the default.

I don't recommend mixing case on field and database table names, it is
not necessary and creates many, many, chances for things to go wrong.
