The webpage of coarse, is not local, regardless of where its hosted, so
a firewall will come into play when trying to connect. You dont have disable it, i should have been specifc i suppose, you must
allow for the mysql port to be open. :)
Whats for others to confirm, try it yourself and see if it works.

You understanding of how this works is a bit off Jason. If you make a call to one of my web sites from your machine via a browser, the _only_ port I need to have open to the outside is 80 (or whatever port I have my web server running on), even if I make 1000 calls to a local db, but this has nothing to do with how the web server talks to MySQL. What is meant by local here, is that the MySQL db and web server are on the same machine. A firewall comes into play when your web browser requests a page from my web server, but does not come into play when that page has to connect to a local db before sending content to you. Your remote machine never talks to my local MySQL db.
