Answer 1

Make sure that you have set

bind-address = 192.168.1.1

set in yourr my.cnf.

Also make sure you granted the correct rights

so something like for just your client machine

grant all privilege on *.* to `username`@`your-pc-id` identified by 'password'

or

grant all on *.* to 'username'@'%' identified by 'password';

for all hosts.
