Hey, There is one more way of going about it, Try using Absolute URL's instead of relative ones' , If you are on your local computer using wamp for testing codes and all, don't think you need to use putty :) , if you are try to login to your local pc from another system, you can enable telnet on your local machine, so that you can use putty to telnet to your system . you will also need to change mysql setting to allow remote access , due to security by default only local account are allowed to access the mysql server for user, you will need to create account like u ''username'@'%' . good luck.
