Looks like mysql is configured to listen only on localhost.

You can test this by running telnet 192.168.129.139 3306 from your client machine.

Most probable reason - mysqld is configured to do so.

Please try to follow Configuration step described here:

Edit the /etc/mysql/my.cnf file to configure MySQL to listen for connections from network hosts, change the bind-address directive to the server's IP address. For example Replace 192.168.0.5 with the appropriate address. If there are no such entry - uncomment it or create new line.

bind-address            = 192.168.0.5

Then restart mysqld

sudo service mysql restart

Then test with telnet or by running your application once again. Also netstat would have second entry for mysqld.
