"You need to place a firewall exception to port 3306 or which ever port MySQL is using, otherwise you firewall will block remote access to port 3306.

You may do this from the MySQL Configuration wizard. Also on the connection wizard, it will ask if the ""root"" would have remote access. Check the box. That's all."
