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.

>> What am I doing wrong? What can I check for? I am stumped!

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.
