Oh.  Finally read krash's post.  You must DEFINITELY follow his instructions, so SMF is not trying to send your users to their own desktop machine all the time!

Does this look correct? As for the bolded part, would this be the server IP? Server name? :

Check with your host what to use for db server.  They can explain it to you.
Do not give your true database connection information on this public forum -- create a new username and password and get rid of the old ones, if these are the true ones.

I've edited the user name to something. I checked my own Settings.php and I have the same $db_server, but Krash. has good instincts here. Can you ask your host what the actual server path would be?

Ok, I'm reaching the forum at http://haxfl.com/ but getting db connection error.   Looks like you need db server address in $db_server = 'localhost';.  It may be in the MySQL database section of your host control panel.  If not, contact host support and get it from them.
