IF you really want to do this test, figure out your hostgator IP address and then contact wired tree and then can setup a iptables rule to open 3306 for only that server on your vps.  Additionally you'll need to make sure that you are able to make the out bound connection from the hostgator side.  It is likely blocked by default.  If you have ssh access on your host gator account, I would use mysql from the command line to make sure that part is working before trying to diagnose more wide ranging issues.
