Any ideas?



There are two likely problems. The first has been mentioned. The second is that the dameon is not listening remotely. You can check this by running:

netstat -ltp

and seeing the mysql entry there. If it says *:mysql then it's set to listen to everything. If it says localhost:mysql than it's set to only listed no the localhost. You'll need to change that in the mysql conf files. Sorry, I mostly familiar with postgres.

As mentioned by others is could be a firewall issue. Once you've ran netstat and varied that the dameon is listening for remote connections I'd run nmap and make sure your other computer can see that port, if not than look at your firewal rules.
