Normally you find this part in /etc/mysql/my.cnf: # Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on # localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure. bind-address = 127.0.0.1 This causes mysql to only listen on localhost. If you comment it out and restart it will listen on all interfaces. Cheers, Andy -- http://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting Encrypted mail welcome - keyid 0x604DE5DB
