MySql doesn't answer port 3306 on Etch

Tags:

I am new to Debian, but have used other Linux distros. I installed Etch and set up MySql. The mysqld loads and localhost shows 3306 open, but if I ping from another machine, I get no sign of the port being open. I don't understand if there is a problem with a firewall I don't see or what? If so, where is the file to set the port open? Thanks.

What does your firewall look like.

What does

# iptables -L | grep DROP
(run as root)

show?

When I logged in as root and ran iptables -L | grep DROP, nothing happened, and it took me right to the command prompt.

I then ran iptables -L and got this output:

debian:/# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Thanks in advance for your help.

Ok, iptables isn't the culprit...

What are you doing to confirm that the mysql daemon is running on the machine, and that the other machine can't access it?
