First of  all, you should allow to connect from remote host. Look at
the GRANT syntax:
    http://www.mysql.com/doc/G/R/GRANT.html
    http://www.mysql.com/doc/P/r/Privileges.html

When you connect to the remote MySQL server you should specify host
name, i.e.:
      mysql -hsome.host.name -uuser_name -p
