Enable remote mysql access
I have set my.cnf to bind to my ip.
I have commented out "skip-networking"
I can't connect, it's probably something quite basic, because:
Zelda # telnet 192.168.0.35 3306
Trying 192.168.0.35...
Connected to 192.168.0.35.
Escape character is '^]'.
EHost '192.168.0.35' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL serverConnection closed by foreign host.

mysql> select user, password, host from user where user ="letharion";
+-----------+-------------
| user | password | host |
+-----------+-------------
| letharion | *1F741C2CC5E5B34C1809CEC44
| letharion | *1F741C2CC5E5B34C1809CEC44
| letharion | *1F741C2CC5E5B34C1809CEC44
I figured maybe I was rejected before this table was even read as I never gave a username.
Is anything wrong with this layout?

Ähem ... the user is connecting TO a DB on 192.168.0.35, so you'd propably have to use the client's IP instead or use "%" for any host.

>>Have you grant permission for user @ that host?
I could have sworn I had tried that, but I wanted to start from the beginning, so I just mentioned the telnet.
Could it have made a difference that I didn't use '' around the username?
That fixed it in any case. Thanks

You're ofc correct. But I was trying locally first :)
The grant command fixed it locally, and I added the external ip and now that works too.
