[plug] accessing MySql

[Jon Miller]

I have a client that wants to have his developer access their MySql
database from a Windows Xp laptop to continue doing some development
work.  Besides making sure the port is open on the router what else must
be done in order for the developer to access the database.  He is using
MySqlODBC v3.51. He is using a Visual Basic front-end app.  Is there
anything else that is required?  The database resides on a on a server
that is in an VPN configuration.
I've set up iptables to accept packets for for --dport 3306.

Thanks
