Enable Remote Connection (Frustrating)

I have been using various versions of MySQL over the past 4 years. The latest version that I've installed is 5.6 on Windows 7 Professional. Whereas in the past I usually didn't have too much of a problem creating a user that could connect from any client machine, on this latest instance I can't get it to work. I've tried creating the user using both the MySQL Workbench and by using a GRANT command at the command line. Nothing works. When I try to connect remotely using the MySQL Workbench I get the standard message saying "can't connect blah blah blah".

I've tried many variations of the GRANT command, I run "FLUSH PRIVILEGES", I've restarted the service, etc. etc.

If you have any advice it is very much appreciated!
