I use my remote MySQL database during long time.
But today I suddenly have found that I cannot connect to the database. I have got an error.
"Can't get hostname from your ip address".
I haven't changed anything in MySQL settings.
What's the problem?

wimvds about 13 yearsAs the error states : MySQL is unable to resolve your current IP to a hostname (ie. it cannot perform a reverse lookup on your current IP). Check this bug report and also how MySQL uses DNS for some background info.
