Hi Les,
MySQL is running, my Wordpress stuff is working, but I cannot connect to the server from my house. This server is in my house, however, but on a public IP, behind a firewall, etc.
I checked my hardware firewall (a dedicated UnTangle system) and that is successfully allowing the passage. I know this because the firewall shows:
2009-12-22 6:29:41 am passed <my IP>:35606 <server IP>:3306
[...]
What am I doing wrong? What can I check for? I am stumped!
Where does the client connection originate? Is it behind the same firewall but on a NATed address? Or is NAT involved in some other way that might keep you from seeing the source you expect in your tcpdump?
OK, I have a comcast modem as pass through.
I have a firewall and behind it is the mysql server (public IP)
I have an Apple Time Capsule that is NOT behind the firewall, but does have a public IP on the same network as the firewall and MySQL Server. The Time Capsule nats and give clients behind it a private IP.
