Red face Newbie: Configuring MyODBC(server could not be found)

I'm trying to do a remote connection to a site which uses MySQL altogether with PHP (as ValueAdds). I've installed MyODBC in order to do an access from VB, upgrading and downgrading directly the information.
But I don't actually know which is its servername/host in terms of the MyODBC. Is it www.xxx.com, is it xxx.com/local/mysql (I'm this point unable to get further information from the webdesigners) ? What must I put in order to connect to it or at least in order to pass the test data source that is in the ODBC DSN setup option ?

BTW I'm working with W2K and I don't have MySQL installed locally.

Thank you.
