I'm trying to connect remotely to my MySQL server. I'm getting the error above and not sure why.

What I've tried:
- Connecting to: *dynamic IP address*/phpmyadmin (works)
- Granting the MySQL user all permissions
- Commenting out bind-address and skip-networking in my.cnf.
- Connecting to the server through localhost (works)

... I've looked at iptables but not really sure what I'm meant to be doing. Could do with some guidance here.
