Try connecting to the remote MySQL
server using the MySQL client,
e.g. c:\my_mysql_path\bin\mysql -u root -p -h 10.0.0.180
(you enter your password after hitting the return key)
I suspect it is simply a matter of
user root in MySQL being allowed to
connect from localhost using password 'mypw'
but not from other hosts,
remember that access is restricted
by host+username and that you can
even have different passwords for
the same username, but different hosts.
What app. are you using to administrate
your MySQL database ?
