QDBC Connection

[rtenny]

I have searched the forum and the thread to this problem did not help me. I am not sure what to add in the "Add Host" field, so i can access the database via ODBC. I already tried several settings but luck so far. I even tried just the % sign which should allow acces from any host. How can I find my IP as I am behind a router? I logged into a dedicated server with SSH to find the domain name from my ISP but entering that did not help either. Can anybody help me please?

But the % should work. I suspect a different problem....

Thanks for the help. Did not know this web site before. But I still cannot connect with ODBC, even entering the IP in the control panel. I dont get a list of databases for that user as I normaly get on other mySQL server. Even entering the database name manualy does not work. This is the error I am getting([MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Access denied for user 'wwwalcaz_alca'@'83.59.209.96' to database 'wwwalcaz_alca'). I think I will tell my client to get a proper server which can be controlled. All these web based control panel are sh***t.

Naw, cPanel is the s*i*t :P

OK OK now for the standard support responces.

1) Dose the usernamne exist?
2) The DB Name?
3) Is the password right? You 101% positive?
4) The username have the nessary premissions on the DB?

If the % should work and everybody says that ODBC should work then I must make a error somewhere. I will recheck all the permission, passwd etc. Already have the db running on another server (not host gator) but dont realy want to move the whole website. That will be a realy pain.

Thanks for all your help
