Can't connect through outside IP

I'm running MySQL version 4.0.21-3_i386 on a Debian system. My problem is I can't connect to MySQL through our outside static IP address, which is the same address that our Web and FTP servers listen on. I can connect through the local machine and through the internal IP address of our servers with other computers on our LAN. I created a user 'user'@'localhost' and 'user'@'%'. I have commented out the "skip-networking" line in /etc/mysql/my.cnf. Also, there is no line in the config that binds the connection only to local connections. This is the only thing related to MySQL that shows up in netstat -tap:
tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 387/mysqld


The server's /etc/hosts file contains aliases 127.0.0.1 as localhost. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
