"Remote" connection to a local MYSQL database on LAN I have a mySQL (5.5.38) server running on my desktop (windows 7), I can connect just fine into any of the servers Users, and skip-networking is off when checked via show variables. I am trying to give another family member access on their laptop, but get error 10060 each time (could not connect)

I have tried giving them an account from host %, and another one from their local IP, though neither is working. I have tried having them connect to each of the following with both accounts - my actual IP, my local IP, and the hostname variable for the server. each connection returns error 10060.
Issue solved - Windows firewall had to be turned ON and then have the ports forwarded. Windows firewall being off was filtering the ports.
