Can't connect to MySQL server through outside sites. Help!!

I'm extremely new to MySQL, so forgive me if I don't know what I'm talking about. I have installed MySQL and Apache on my machine using EasyPHP. I am creating a site that is hosted on a server that doesn't have mysql support (because it costs more), so I decided to make the scripts connect to my mysql server. When I put a PHP script that needs to connect to mysql on my server, it works fine. But, when I put a script on the other server, it gives me "Warning: mysql_query(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)". Like I said, I am completely new to MySQL so i don't know what that means. I am also running PHPMyAdmin, so I dont use the command line. I've opened my firewall to accept the port (3306). Please help! Oh yeah, here is my.ini file:

# Example mysql config file.
# Copy this file to c:\my.cnf to set global options
#
# One can use all long options that the program supports.
# Run the program with --help to get a list of available options
