PHPRunner General questions

Hi, I have a database set up in the hostmonster section of mysql.
I've just downloaded PHPrunner and am really exited about using it, but I can't seem to connect to the mysql database in hostmonster.
First of I have "white listed" my ip address in hostmonster. I've set up a database name of communm9_test5 and username of communm9_john2. this is on my domain communicateip.com
Therefore, I assume when I connect using PHPRunner the following entrys should be;
host/server name: communicateip.com

user communm9_john2

password xxxxxxxx
but when I click on connect, I get the atached error message. I have also tried connecting via FTP setting, but that won't work either.
BUT if I connect to the website via ftp and set up a database connection all in dreamweaver, that works.
so how come PHPRunner won't connect? where am I going wrong?
Thanks

John

Hi,
I got it sorted, I needed to create a new ftp login and use port 21, then it worked. No idea why, but thats what I did after trial and error.
