Answer 1

As above, getting rid of "skip-networking" in my.cnf need to be done.

However, on some configurations, that is over-ridden by SKIP="--skip-networking" in a start-up file, such as rc.mysqld. So take that out also.

Does hosts.allow permit one machine to talk to the other in any case?

And leave us not forget the actual documentation.
