well your mysql server can definately be reached from outside. you left your ip address in your reply so i tried to connect. i don't have a valid login, but it let me know 'access denied' which is a good sign. (1.2.3.4 is yoru ip, x.x.x.x is mine)
check it out:
Quote:
]$ mysql -h1.2.3.4 -uuser -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'user@x.x.x.x' (Using password: YES)
|
are you sure there is not a firewall on the 'outside server' that is trying to call mysql? it seems like you should be getting the access denied error rather than the cannot connect to server.
