MySQL remote connection
What permissions does a user of MySQL need to be able to connect remotely to a database?
I currently have the permissions:
mysql> select host,user,password from mysql.user where user='root'
+-----------+------+------
| host | user | password |
+-----------+------+------
| localhost | root | *DDCFCFAB8ACBA3ADB5C2B44A3
+-----------+------+------
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

I am trying to connect to the mysql server via a WAN, not LAN.
So do the same rules still apply? I don't understand if the permisions should be the IP address of the remote server, or the IP address of the local machine?

I have added a new user to mysql and have added my local machines IP address as the Host. But I am still getting the same error message when I try connecting.

ssh -L 5424:localhost:3306 root@xx.xxx.xxx.xx
I then run MySQL query browser from the local machine to connect to the remote server via the SSH tunnel, but it does not work.
It says that root@localhost does not have the rights...
