Hi, If you mean how to connect to a MySQL server from a remote machine in a local network, you only need to include the computer (or ip address) of the server in the HOSTNAME. You also have to make sure that the user in the connection string, has permission to access the database, you should go to MySQL's manual to learn about security and permissions.
I hope it helps.
