No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

There could be two things going on here.. One is that you did NOT get the permission set correctly somehow. My suggestions is to uninstall MySQL, and delete the my.ini file located in c:\windows, reboot your machine just to make sure the changes to the regristy took effect, then reinstall, and reboot again... Now run winmysqladmin.exe from the mysql\bin folder and put in your UN/PW.. Then install your db's and do your grant options...
The other suggestion comes from my days as a tech at a local ISP. Some firewalls act strangely. I have had casees where turning off the firewall did NOT get it done. To explain better; some firewalls, when you disable them it STILL doesnt work (whatever connection you are tryin to make ). This is because disabling it DOESNT open the ports, they are still closed, it just releases its hold on them. You might try and uninstall your firewall (just long enough to test this theory), and see where that takes you. I know this sounds silly, but trust me I have had MORE than a few businesses that have had this very problem. (Or you could try specifically opening those ports, then test them to make SURE the firewall has released them).

Concerning MySQL-Front, exactly what server name am I supposed to have?

Whatever you named your database, not your server name.
