I don't know how you've tried it, but you should be doing something 
like this in your code: 
 
mysql_connect($ip, $username, $password); 
mysql_select_db($database); 
 
You should also be doing this on the server, and not directly from 
home. Security settings on the database server will only allow 
connections from a certain IP (or IP range).
