mysql server

I have two applications: one runs in FreeBsd FreeBSD amd64 and one in Windows. Both applications use the same database (MySQL database). At this moment I use two different databases, one in Freebsd FreeBSD and one in Windows. This application runs on different PCs connected to the internet. I have a dynamic IP. What must I do to use the database on freebsd FreeBSD from Windows?
 
You will need to allow access to port 3306 from the internet to your MySQL server.

Do NOT open this for the entire internet though, make sure you properly firewall it so only the other machine can access it. Also verify if you have good, proper passwords on all MySQL accounts.
