I have some domains online. I want to access there db's from one domain but I cant do it if there have a different IP.

example:

Let's say that the IP of the system that I have my php with the code to access the other systems is on 192.168.100.100 I can access every system within 192.168...... (.100.1, 100.2 etc)

My problem is that I can't access other systems (65.8.25.17 for example)

Any ideas please?

are we talking actual servers here or home computers?

I think you'll find that most shared hosting services are configured to disallow database connections from external sites, for security reasons.

I was talking for servers.

Thanks guys. It was a wild shot anyway.
