I am not very technical! but I have noticed that it doesn't always 'save' new information in the preferences file.
It took 3 or 4 times for it to finally take, also the settings need to be exactly as they are in the database, SSH etc...
It should connect, that it does.
Hope this helps. It's pretty much where my knowledge ends
