Mac OS 10.2 has a firewall built in and the default, as I recall, is to
block access to most ports. Look at the Sharing pane of the System
Preferences application. There is a Firewall tab where you can control the
various aspects of the firewall.
As mentioned, if you have a router, it might need to be configured to allow
access to the Mac. Many routers have an option to not respond to ping
requests as well.

A failed ping does not necessarily mean a MySQL client cannot connect.
What happens when you try to connect using the MySQL command-line
client from another computer inside your network? If that works, and
connecting from outside the network does not work, then probably
something else is blocking access to port 3306 for the outside world.
And if your router is doing NAT, have you mapped your external
public:3306 to the private internal:3306 ?
