You have to make an account for the server in MySQL using the computer's network name or IP address .. i forget which one. I had to do this with my servers. Google "MySQL user privileges" it and see what u come up with.

Using MySQLAdmin or PHPMyAdmin, find the username you want to connect with and change the host from "Localhost" to "%" which means any host. Save settings and try again.
