Does setting the jdbc url to point to the remove machine not work?

Administrative rights is not an issue here. But two factors are:
1) is the MySQL listening on its network interface? Often it is put to
listen only localhost, for security reasons.
2) firewall? Is the MySQL opened for external access? If the server is
on internet, probably not.
