You could just download mysql for Windows, and use the MySQL command line client to connect remotely. mysql -h REMOTESERVERIP -u USERNAME -p DBNAME I also suspect that you may be having trouble with your permissions on the remote side of things, because maybe MySQL can't do a reverse DNS to find your domain name from the IP address. Try adding your user in with IP address instead of domain name. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
