OK so I managed to open 3306. Now when I connect using 127.0.0.1 from the intranet box it works, but when I connect using it's IP it's still the same situation :(
And now when I connect remotely (from my front end which is accessible via WWW), it says "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'andy'@'frontend.internal' (using password: YES)". Does it have something to do with the fact that 'andy' in the mysql user tables is only authorized to connect from 'localhost'? How do I fix this problem. Thank you very much.
