I've got a perfectly functioning MySQL server that I'm using with Perl.
I'm now at a stage where I need to switch my login string from
127.0.0.1 to my IP address for remote access. For some reason my
installation of MySQL is bouncing the socket request. I have 3306
opened via the firewall control pane software and my router has my
primary IP in the DMZ. Is there some configuration file that restricts
3306 access by default?
Thanks for your help!
