Well, it wasn't so much a solution as deleting the ones I had created and creating new ones for in and outbound. So just New Rule>Port>TCP, 3306>Allow>Private>Name of rule>Finish
The rules I did have in there were previously created by the MySQL installation, and I'd been changing the settings within the rules to try to get them to open up properly. It was through disabling all parts of the firewall (domain, private and public) and gradually enabling them that I worked out that the rules I had in there were not working, so I deleted them and re-created them as above.
I'm hoping that all the problems I've been having in trying to get it set up have been caused by this! Fingers crossed...! I suspect I'll be back soon....!
