Malformed Packet error when connecting to remote database

I would like to start using Workbench, but when connecting to a remote database using it I get a Malformed Packet error. I know that it is talking to the database because it is prompting me for the password. If I point to some other system not running MySQL it dies quickly with an error.

I saw another post here where they said that a malformed packet error was when workbench was trying to talk to a port that wasn't running MySQL. But I have checked and it is connecting to the correct port.

Could it be the version of the database? We are only on version 5.1.69.
