DROP all -- anywhere anywhere

<DROP all -- anywhere anywhere> IMHO this is the culprit rule. like you are allowing all other traffic, everything, anything and everything, and you are also dropping everything? stumped

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
....snip....
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:mysql
[root@xx /]#
[root@xx /]#


Please help ...
