mysql problem, cannot connect remotely

I have a problem with a mysql server, whenever i try to connect to it remotely, say with:


mysql -h hostname -u user -p

I enter my password, but then mysql just sits there, no error message, no nothing. Just one new emply line after i typed in my password. What could be the cause of this? It started today. The only change i did was to add a few more users and databases..

Connecting locally, without the -h switch works fine.
