Connecting to MySQL through another computer

[timpalimpa4]

Is there anyway I can connect to my friends MySQL database in his house, since I can't host it at my place and I can't change anything there while here. Can I connect to his database somehow?

No, if the database runs properly at his pc (and mysql forwarded if needed) then you can use his ip adres as database server ip.
