Yes, it helped me also a lot.
Maybe you will be faced with another problem, mysql will be not accessible by another hosts.
Than you can use something like
grant all on database.* to ‘root’@’192.168.1.%’ ;
where database.* means all tables in a database specified,
and 192.168.1.% means all machines with IP like 192.168.1. xxx
