Well I found the answer to this finally. It appears that in MySQL's config file there is a line bind-address 127.0.0.1. Well I wanted it to be bound to more than one address, but it doesn't appear that you can do that. (If someone knows how, please let me know. :) ). So I just commented out that particular line and all is working as planned.
Well, usually you bind to 0.0.0.0 meaning all interfaces or specific one (i.e. 192.168.0.5). 127.0.0.1 is on loopback interface, so you are able to access it only from localhost.
