Youn will need to add a mysql user to the mysql server that has
access from the IP(s) you are wishing to connect from, and
privileges to do what it needs to do.

You can use the host "%" to mean "from everywhere".

It could be as a simple as:

mysql> create user 'your_username'@'%' identified by 'your_pass';
mysql> grant all on yourdb.* to 'your_user'@'%';

Cheers,
Andy
