MySQL can sometimes be a bit picky as to what it thinks your host name
is. The best way to check is to look at the logfile and see what
hostname MySQL thinks you are coming from. When doing things locally you
sometimes have to adjust /etc/hosts's 127.0.0.1 line to put localhost
first.

Telnetting to port 3306 is also helpful, since most current
distributions block access to the IP port from the outside.
