When you are running as root, but are you running as 'root'@'%' or 'root'@'localhost'? This does make a big difference. The '%' means all network connections, which isn't secure. I would only using it as testing purposes.
However, because your error message says that you cannot see the server, are you sure that your remote connection can see the NT server? This may be a bigger problem, i.e. DNS or IP routing/access lists. You may also want to check the <hostname>.err logs on the MySQL server to see if there is a connection problem there.
