Mysql Database location

[Sheepoholics]

How do I connect to a mysql database from a remote location such as my computer. I want a program on my computer to be able to communicate with a mysql database on my account.

The firewall blocks connections to the mysql server.

try using xampp. http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html that's what i used for testing websites in a localhost. or using sqlyog

So theres no way to get information to and from a program and a mysql database on my account

Not unless you are added to the expectation list (if Corey allows it), which I think might be possible, but do you have a dedicated\static IP?

Brandon... this is an interesting question. Would you be able to allow permissions if we had a *dynamic* IP but used a service such as dyndns to get a specific hostname such as: myhost.dyndns.org? My router automatically registers the most recently assigned IP with dyndns so that the hostname is always up-to-date.
