Issue with Power BI Desktop Connection to New Server

      I am writing to report an issue we are facing while attempting to connect Power BI Desktop to a recently added server. Whenever we try to establish the connection, we receive the following error message: "MySQL: reading from the stream has failed." It's important to note that we do not encounter this problem when connecting to our old server.

       We have made several attempts to resolve the issue by trying different MySQL connectors and machines, but unfortunately, the error persists. We are seeking your assistance to help us troubleshoot and resolve this matter.

please help me to resolve this issue

Verify the server connection details, Check Network Connectivity, Update MYSQL connector, Test with other tools, Check Server Cofiguration, Review Server Logs.
