I have searched google and the solutions given there ... but they are not working for me.
I am on ubuntu. I have installed mysql using their apt tool.
When I go into mysql administrator, I can see that the TCP connections are not blocked

However when I go into the port scan tool, I don't see 3306 listed.

When I try to do a telnet 172.16.0.254:3306
when I do a sudo iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
One funny thing on my machine is that telnet doesn't work for any of the ports (even those which are open)
If I say telnet 172.16.1.63:80 it will come back with error
telnet: could not resolve 172.16.1.63:80/telnet: Name or service not known
Even though when I can successfully connect to the website using the browser
