Firewall Questions on Ubuntu

[karigna]

Thank you very much for the suggestions I have gotten Firestarter installed
and I believe that I have the permissions set correctly to access mysql from
other local network machines but cannot do so. I have an account setup to
allow a remote user from my 192.168.0.12/55 machines but have no success.
Although mysql works fine from localhost, apache also shows it's default
page from either machine I must be missing something??????
