connection MySQL (on the web) -- Access

Hi,

I try to connect Microsoft Access (2003) to MySQL (5).
I use Connector / ODBC 3.51.12
I fill in:
Login:
Datasourcename: http://www.sitename.nl
Description: Web connection
Server: localhost
User: username I got from the provider
Password: ***** (password to open the database)
Databasename: the name I got from the provider.

Clicking test I get an error: access denied for user username@localhost.

What do I have to change to get my acces database connected to MySQL on the
net?
The provider (Lycos) does not know.

Please do not multi-post your questions

localhost is YOUR box. This should be the IP address of your
provider. If you do not even know the basics of networking, how in the
world do you expect to actually be effective at anything relating to
computers?
