Help allowing outgoing connections? (SSH, FTP, MySql server)

i've been having problem time , i'm not sure what's caused it. used able ssh macbook school's servers using terminal, fugu, cyberduck, , filezilla.

updated snow leopard on macbook1,1 intel core duo (late 2007 2008 model) now, wont connect using of things above , including mysql workbench. "connection refused".

need use mysql school (sql development, not admin or modeling under workbench), cant access server. keep getting error:

your connection attempt failed user 'xxxx' host server @ xxxx.yyyyy.zzzzz.edu:3306:
can't connect mysql server on 'xxxx.yyyyy.zzzzz.edu' (61)

error similar trying ssh/sftp - connection refuses.

i've changed names of user/server protect innocent. settings access server correct (i've quadrouple checked spelling). wont connect. think has firewall? i've tried accessing firewall turned off , turned on mysql allowing incoming connections. under system prefs > sharing > have file sharing, web sharing, remote login, remote management.

there else need do? maybe under system prefs > network? under network > advanced > proxies, nothing checked except "use passive ftp mode" @ bottom.

edit:
more settings. checked router settings see if might problem (to honest - don't know i'm looking for? checked "security" tab).
linksys wrt54g2 router:
under security > firewall >
block anonymous internet requests checked,
filter multicast checked,
filter ident(port 113) checked,
1 not checked filter internet nat redirection.
under application , gaming > port range forwarding/port triggering
