Make MySql db available for others to connect to

I have an Apache Server running on my desktop, and when I go
to the following page:

http://cpucnd111.mybusiness.com/

Open in new window


I get the default 'It works!' web page.

I want to make my My MySql Database available on
this server.

Is it possible?
How do I configure MySql to do this?

Do you have MySQL installed on your machine? What scripting language you are using?

MySql is on my machine.

Not sure what language I want to use just yet;
more playing around with trying to create a DB
instance I could remote into later from another machine.

I'm kind of new to databases in general, and know next to nothing about networking;
but at work, when I want to connect to the oracle database we use; I have to enter:

Connection Name: XYZProd
User Name: XAccess
Password: ********
Host Name: Asdifj
Service Name: xyzprod.xyzcompany.com

Open in new window


I think I want to make one of those.
Where people can remote access
onto my MySql Database

was actually more interested in maybe making the DB available to others through an MS Access interface, and see how that works out. Caveat being that I need to make the MySql db available to others.

Basically, I've got a DB on my Windows Computer that I want other people to have access to.
