Can Anyone Help Me??
 

I have a server Computer I made an Everquest server my friend knows the tech stuff hes trying to connect to my server through navicat so he can edit the database and we can get the server going i gave him my static IP and pass I have a Router I opened my Ports but it keeps saying could not connect to MySQL

Any Advice NEEDED!!

is there something im doing wrong??

Just to be sure make sure that port 3306 is open

Also be sure that in mysql he can access the server.

grant all on *.* username@'%' identified by 'whateverpass';

will let him get in and do what he needs.

Also, it depends on if you are running Windows or Linux, but either one of them has an option to allow or block outside/remote connections. I assume you are running Windows, and if so, you need to run through the setup process again and make sure to check the box that says to allow remote connections.
