Remotely connect Visual Studio 2010 on my windows PC to MySQL Server on my Ubuntu server 11.04; both located on my local network

I have visual studio 2010 installed on my windows 7 machine and I'm trying to open a connection to MySQL server on my Ubuntu server 11.04 located on my local network.

When I try to create a new connection through visual studio, it says "A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. the server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server i开发者_如何学JAVAs configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - could not open a connection to SQL Server)"

It's not recognizing the server on the network.

I got MySQL Workbench on my windows 7 pc to connect to it, so I know the pc has permission and my password is correct.

Any help would be much appreciated.. Thanks in advance!
