Remote access denied

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:
'root@office.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>
