My question is can you connect to your mysql database from outside of futurequests servers... ie: I have a script on a diff host that I would like to be able to access a few of my tables.....

Please see:

same applies here...

There is a $25.00 administrative fee per incident if you should ever need change IP addresses due to the firewall remasking...[nbsp][nbsp]Also, the bandwidth usage is counted against your package allocations...

Not unless you are masked in the MySQL GRANT tables, and configured for proper firewall clearance...

You need to realize that there are a lot of mechanics that go into making that connection...[nbsp][nbsp]Most people only see the telephone handset and number pad for which you just dial the phone number to make the call...[nbsp][nbsp]However, the entire process of making that telephone call are governed by thousands of smaller procedures and protocols, which is all the stuff you don't see - yet administrators do...

I think you may be confused about the IPs...

What I need to know is what IP you will be connecting from...[nbsp][nbsp]Your other host should be able to provide you with this information...[nbsp][nbsp]Make sure you ask them which IP is the servers primary IP - and not just your domain's IP address...[nbsp][nbsp]When you go to make a connection via PHP - it will bind to the servers primary address and form the connection with that...[nbsp][nbsp]Just describe to them what you are trying to do and their administrator should understand the situation and provide you with correct information...
