Trouble with EQ admin tool

[ryder911]

Im using 5.2 and cant get it to bring up my DB. I tried both and keep getting errors. If i go to the import DB button it says
Could not Connect to database eq for import. Other error is when i try doing it threw prefences and i get this error.

Exception: Can not connect to SQL server

The admin tool wasn't able to connect to table account
in database "EQ" at host <Database IP>
Please go to the prefences dialog and set the username, password,
database, and host values. If they are correct, this error may signify an error in that table that the tool's database components cannot handle.

In the prefence field i have


Under Database

Database name: eq (that is what it called in mysql)
Database host: My ip tried both internal and external
Username: myusername for mysql
password: mysql password

Im not sure how to change host values I dont were this is located : /

Any help would be appreciated or a link or anything that will help me fix. I did a search, after searching threw about first 15 pages i gave up on that
