Connecting via TCP/IP through a firewall

I am trying to connect to my MySql Database using Connector/NET for my ASP.NET application. I normally have no problem connecting to the database, but I have been given the challenge of connecting to my MySql database from a web server in the DMZ through a firewall. The port 1432 has been opened in the firewall to make this connection. The server that I am connecting to has the Address of 10.0.0.1

I am using the connection string:
“Server=10.0.0.1;Port=1432;Database=aDatabaseName;Username=aUserName;Password=aPassword;”

When I try to connect I get the error message:
Unable to connect to any specified MySql host.

The web server does not contain any other kind of MySql installation. In my bin directory the MySql.Data.dll is present.

I was able to get a connection to SQL Server on the same web server, but I did have to install MDAC. Do I have to include any other files besides the Connection/NET (MySql.Data.dll) DLL.
