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.
