I dont know how i missed is previously when i compared servers, but the server in question had the following in my.cnf:
skip-networking
If i recall thats a default setting from mysql 5.x.x, so now it accepts remote tcp/ip connections as it should, this server is pretty old & has since been upgraded many times & now users mariadb.
I removed the fixes & tested, all working fine now, but id agree with your email MrZ, id leave the fix in there for 2.7.6
