[RESOLVED] remote mysql

hi..i want to make a program where it can connect to a database on my website..
i've added the connection string but when i run the program it says that i cant connect using username username@my-ip (using password: yes/no)
i tried using [email protected] but still the same problem...help anyone? really appreciate it...thanks

There must be a user set up in MySQL that is allowed to connect. Many hosting companies set up MySQL so that it may only be accessed by the localhost. Check with them to see if that is the case, or if they would be able to add a user for you to allow you to connect.
