It might be....

'skip-networking' in your config (read:my.cnf) means that MySQL will not 
listen to any network interface. Yuou will still be able to connect to 
localhost, because its something 'sepecial'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost
"The public releases of the MySQL database differentiate between 
localhost and 127.0.0.1. When using localhost from a client program, say 
a PHP application, then MySQL connects to the database using a Unix 
domain socket rather than making a direct TCP connection[7][8]. To 
ensure a TCP connection to the database in IPv4 then use 127.0.0.1."
