Here's some more data on this, if anyone can help.

--I can connect the other way around ... i.e. I can connect from B to A. So there's no general connectivity problem.
--did an nmap on B,
$ nmap -sT -T Polite -p3306 xxxxxx.com


Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA22 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
Interesting ports on s191.n33.xxxxxx.com (66.84.xx.xx):
Port       State       Service
3306/tcp   filtered    mysql

nmap on B indicates 'open' rather than 'filtered' ... how can i change?

I'm having trouble connecting remotely from Server A (local) to Server B (remote). Both Linux.

From Server A, I'm issuing this command
mysql -h [domain.com] -u [user] -p

And I get
ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'domain.com' (110)
I assume this is a time out.

1. The user on Server B is set up with all privileges.
2. Server B's my.cnf has the line "bind-address=127.0.0.1" but it is commented out with #
3. Server B's skip_networking is OFF.
4. A netstat -tl on Server B gives the line
tcp 0 0 domain.com:3306 *:* LISTEN


I notice that on a different server, I get this
tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN


and there's no line containing 3306.

What's with that?

5. for troubleshooting's sake, ssh [remote-ip] -p 3306 times out. telnet is unavailable.
