Mysql remote access from MySQL Workbench

[goodseller2]

I have a newly install ubuntu installed the mysql server.

After the basic config,

I changed the my.cnf file and commented the bind_address

I can start the server and added iptable for 3306.

I also add the privileges to mysql server as follow:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'%'
IDENTIFIED BY 'P@ssw0rd' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit


However after connected from the mysql workbench, it shows no database. But it seems that have login.

Anyone have faced that or can help me?

Thx!

What happens if you try to connect with the native command-line mysql client?"
