Remote access denied - MySQL

[Max]

I am trying to access a DB that is hosted on a remote server.
Whe I try to log in (as root, with no pw) I get the following msg:
ERROR 1045 (00000): Access denied for user:
'evans.ru' (Using password: NO)
Accessing the DB locally (SSH into the server an then log in) works
perfectly.
I've tried remotely from both command line and from MySQL Quesry
browser.
Any ideas?

Thanks.

Your system only allows root to sign in from localhost (which is good,
IMHO).

You need to grant privileges to allow a user at other than localhost to
connect. See <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/grant.html>

Yes. This is working properly. Root access is disabled via network until
a human being configures it otherwise explicitly. I strongly advise
*not* turning network access for root without a password. I even advise
not turning on root access via network *at all*. If you must use a shiny
GUI tool as root to do something, ssh tunneling is the right way to do
it.

either.

You'll have to do this by ssh into the server and connecting to the
mysql service using the CLI. The "Securing the Initial Accounts" section
referred to there is particularly useful.
