I second a previous post by vram about that 192.168.0.12/55 

 - the correct netmask for that ip address is /255...


Maybe that was just a typo on your part?

The other configuration issue you might want to check is the access
permissions on MySQL:

Assuming that you have enabled remote MySQL user connections to
192.168.0.12/255, what does the following mysql command (executed on the
server) give you?:

SELECT user, host FROM mysql.user;


If you need any help configuring this then I am willing to assist.
