External MySQL connection - OBDC Driver?

[olliepop]

Hi, i when i attempted to launch my game server, with the following MySQL details it returned an error message, explaining the problem is either incorrect details or an uninstalled OBDC driver.

//MySQL account username (default is "root")
User=ollie_removed for security

//Password for the username specified above for the database - same as the password entered into the MySQL Instance Config
Password=removed for security

//Name of the MySQL database (default is "vbgore")
Database=ollie_removed for security

//External IP of the MySQL host ("127.0.0.1" for hosted locally [on the same computer as the server])
Host=74.86.133.24
//Port of the MySQL database (default is "3306")
Port=3306

So i was wondering, is the host and port correct [If not what should i enter?] , or isn't OBDC 3.51+ Driver installed on x10Hosting Servers?

if the script is hosted at x10, then you might wanna put 'localhost' as Host=
minus the ' '

External means it isn't located at localhost..
Edit:
Sorry for double post but i recieved confirmation is most likely wasn't OBDC. Any idea's on port/host?

I think it is x10hosting.com
or
74.86.117.240
