This Insert comes in Handy..

In Gentoo, the my.cnf, has a default setting of binding the local interface to 127.0.0.1, hence from outside we are unable to connect to the server at port 3306.

Always remember, that before we check all the permissions inside the mysql db, we should check the connection from outside ie. 'telnet romote-address 3306' If this connects and still you get error in connection, then there is an authentication problem..

Check the host table..
if not insert this..
insert into host (Host,Db,Select_priv,Insert_priv,Update_priv,Delete_priv,Create_priv,Drop_priv,Grant_priv,References_priv,Index_priv,Alter_priv,Create_tmp_table_priv,Lock_tables_priv) values ('%','db_name','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y');

% denotes all hosts.. You can mention an IP address to restrict connection from a certain IP address.
