mySql ODCB connection via ms access

I hope this is posted in the correct forum.

Can anyone who has successfully connected to a mysql database using msaccess 2000 answer the following question?


When you look at a php mysql database config file you see the following:
DbHost = "localhost";
DbDatabase = "c****";
DbUser = "ch***";
DbPassword = "chtra**";
This dialog establishes the mysql connection.

In access 2000, after establishing the ODCB dialog, I can tell where the database name, database user and database password are to be inserted in the ODCB dialog.

But...what I don't know is what to use for the "localhost" entry. Is the site url or ip address or what?
