You need to use the username and password of the database, not the OS, to
connect to MySQL. You would also need to set up an account for the
username/host name of the remote computer within MySQL for this to work
successfully. If this is a new installation of MySQL, try leaving username
and password blank as I think there is a default account with open
credentials. In any event, have a look at the user table in the mysql
database for the accounts that have been already set up.

I have mysql running on a linux box at my house.  I want to connect to
that box from another machine on my home network but get access
errors.  When connecting, I use the machines internal ip and the root
name and password of the linux box but I get access denied errors.
How can I connect?

Thanks!
