Read up on the GRANT command in MySQL. This sets up the security level for the tables, hosts and even columns. MySQL defaults to only allowing the localhost to connect ot the database, which is fine if you are running the webserver and something like PHP on that computer. Once you separate them, you need to GRANT the other machine access to MySQL.
For example:
GRANT ALL ON db_name.* TO ""@192.168.1.%
Will grant all privileges on database db_name to every user on the 192.168.1 network. You wouldn't want to actually grant that much access (i.e. dropping tables) to all users, but it's an example.

This is a very important part of MySQL database security that you should become familiar with. This has nothing to do with what platform you are running MySQL on (I'm on a Mac too). There are a number of good books that cover this well. I use MySQL by Paul DuBois (who you see on this list occasionally).
