the mysql box...

The MySQL standard port is 3306/tcp. So your iptables on the MySQL server are supposed to allow communication on this port for the clients.

i have rh8.0 and mysql v11.18-dist3.23.54

huh! Either one is quite old. Think about upgrading - it is a security issue on the one hand - on the other hand, it could prevent a lot of headache using current versions.

Anyway, some manual reading could help answering your questions.
