Can't connect to MySQL via IP, but can via localhost

I would like to make my home WAMP server's MySQL instance be exposed to the internet for updates from an external source. I am able to use MySQL Workbench and connect locally (on same box) with localhost or 127.0.0.1. If I use the boxes IP, I can't connect. I'm sure this is a simple security configuration change, just now sure where.

My desire is to port forward 3306 on my router to this box.

What settings need changing?
