Sorry for making another post about this common issue, but I have been searching around and the solutions I have found does not work.

What seems to be the problem for most people is the skip-networking line in the config file. That line was never there in the my.cnf file so that is not the issue.

I have also tried to set the bind address to the servers address and I have tried to uncomment the bind address line.

There are no firewalls that I know of between the server and the host I try to connect from. I also know there is a connection between them since I can ping the server and run ssh from the remote host.

When I try to connect with MySQL query browser I get the error number 2003. I have also set up a user with the remote hosts IP, but the connection is refused altogether so it shouldn't be the issue either.

Are there other things you can think of that makes the connection fail?
