Have you opened port 3306 in the firewall on your Windows 7 box to allow incoming MySQL connections from your remote machine?

> I get the standard message saying "can't connect blah blah blah".

If you show the exact message it can tell you why you aren't allowed to connect. You get different messages for different reasons.

Good luck,
Barry.
