Well, just some background information.

I am running an online radio, and my broadcasting software requires me to use MySQL so it can categorize song names, and alot of other data.
In addition, SQL is the mainframe of my online request system, and currently playing song data.

I am using MySQL from Apache2Triad 1.5.3.

My broadcasting software (localhost) and my webhost (*****-fx.net) has to be able to access my SQL database.

For what ever reason, my computer (localhost) can access my SQL database, but my webhost can not.

My broadcasting software is out of the picture, and it is not a problem. Some reason, remote hosts can not access my SQL database.

Please help me / tell me how I can allow my Apache2Triad setup to allow external (remote) hosts, as well as internal (network) to access my SQL databases.

Thanks in advanced,
Hymn

PS. I have already tried removing the "bind-address" line in my.ini and it still wont work.

You have to make sure you allow that computer to connect to MySQL.
(I'll post how when I get time... Sorry...)

since your having such difficulty, is it possible for you to use an ssl tunnel?

I've used this for MySQL connections between pc's within a network using stunnel. It has the added benifet of having an ssl data channel.

it works along these lines (forgive the crude diagram)

LocalhostMySQLport -> stunnelservice -> SSL -> stunnelclient -> MySQLClient
