Yesterday I spent some time figuring out why my MySQL Server doesn't accept remote connections anymore. I was not able to connect from any other machines in my local network except from the machine running the server (localhost).
It turns out to be a problem in the MySQL configuration file. The option bind-address was set to 127.0.0.1, which means the server was only listening locally.
The solution is to comment out the "bind-address" line and restart the server. This may be a security risk, because the server is now accessible from any host.
I assume this modification in the MySQL config file was made during a Debian update process.
