Answer 1

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES WHERE Variable_name = 'hostname';
+---------------+-----------+
| Variable_name | Value     |
+---------------+-----------+
| hostname      | karola-pc |
+---------------+-----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

For Example in my case : karola-pc is the host name of the box where my mysql is running. And it my local PC host name.

If it is romote box than you can ping that host directly if, If you are in network with that box you should be able to ping that host.

If it UNIX or Linux you can run "hostname" command in terminal to check the host name. if it is windows you can see same value in MyComputer-> right click -> properties ->Computer Name you can see ( i.e System Properties)

Hope it will answer your Q.
