Need to know MySQL hostname

[Anon]

Does anyone know what the hostname of Mysql server located at www.tripod.lycos.co.uk is? It's because I would like to connect the db from my site hosted by another server. Or is there anyway to track the host name perhaps from phpinfo() or anything?Thank you very much.

well Mysql allows you to login from an IP and so can block out all other IPs. You probably wont be able to login from another server that is not the one hosting the dbase (localhost is the hostname).
