It sounds like you don't have these services listening on externally available interfaces. Some servers are designed to listen externally by default, but (afaik) Telnet and MySQL are not among them (and for good reason). Anyway, a netstat -tunva will give you a rundown of all connections, and will list anything that's listening and where. If it indicates that MySQL really is listening for outside connections, then there is something legitimately odd going on here. But, to get those services to listen externally, you will need to edit their configuration files in the /etc directory.
