Here are the lines I added that solved this problem (First shorewall and
last mysql):

rules
-----
ACCEPT net:[ip,ip,ip] fw all

Well, now the system accepts any connection besides mysql for ip,ip,ip
It is a solution for mysql, but your server is now more at risk from
[ip,ip,ip]

When your server is cracked from [ip,ip,ip] and used to attack other
systems, YOU are to blame for not setting a tighter rule.

Do take just a minute to read the /troubleshooting/ link found at
http://www.shorewall.net/Documentation_Index.html
/Connection Problems/ is where I would like to see the minute spent.

interface
---------
net eth0 detect dhcp

Now you can add some net options and get a tighter wall. I'll suggest
routefilter,tcpflags


shorewall.conf
--------------

Did you look in that file to see where your shorewall log messages are sent.

ps. Thanks to BiTwster for the advice and for kicking my arse for being
rude...

Anytime. 8-)
