mysql connection to my local LAN

hey

I'm sorry guys, but I've been flailing on this, and I just can't figure it out.

All I want to do is spin up a wordpress VM (on my local LAN) and then connect to mySQL from a remote machine (on my LAN).  I have been having a hard time getting this working, and could use some advice.

I change the user to allow remote connections.

I put a  port opening on the firewall for 3306. I haven't been able to figure out what I need to do with the old bind-address argument

#skip-networking
#bind-address                   = 127.0.0.1
