When connecting to a database, you need to specify the server host. If it's the same machine, you would specify 'localhost'. However, if it's a different machine, you would specify either the hostname on the network or IP address of the other machine. If both machines are properly configured on the same network, then they should be able to access each other by internal (or external) IP address.
