Ok, so right to it.

int CSQLDB::Init(const char *host, const char *user, const char *passwd, const char *db)
{
    //Init mySQL
    mySQL = mysql_init(mySQL);
    my_bool rec = 1;
    mysql_options(mySQL, MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT, &rec);
    if(!mysql_real_connect(mySQL, host, user, passwd, db, 3306, NULL, NULL))
    {
        printf("(!!!) mySql connection rejected!\n");
        mysql_close(mySQL);
        return 0;
    }
    failed = false;
    //printf("mySQL connected successfully.\n");
    return 1;
}

This is the code that is attempting to connect to my MySQl with the values I provide after editing a .bat file with this code:

Spitfire.exe 0.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 root mykel

Syntax is "Spitfire.exe bindip mysqlip mysqluser mysqlpass"

but for some reason I continue to get same error:

(!!!) mySql connection rejected!

If anyone cane help, that'll be great. Also, just to mention, when I have Skype up or Apache(XAMPP) it gives me a different error which is "Port 443 is already in use", though I don't see anything mentioning port 443 anywhere. Here's the full code just in case:

Dunno about you, but my network admin would not allow root logins across the internet.
In your case, better find out from your net admin which user account are allowed to connect to the port.
