I am on starka server I have created an application which uses my database at words-with-flesh.x10.mx on that server. I am going to connect to it with MySQL ODBC Driver 5.1. What should I put in the server variable.

The connection string is as follows:
DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver}; SERVER=?????; DATABASE=mydb; UID=myUID;PASSWORD=mypwd; OPTION=3

Assuming your application will be hosted on the server then Server=localhost.
