Hi, I've been able to connect from an Windows XP to a HP Solaris and LINUX. Make sure that you can ping the UNIX computer from yours. Then replace the computer name in the connection string (most of the time is localhost) for the UNIX computer's ip address (you can use the name if you have DNS resolution) but ip will make the connection faster.
Now you can connect, you must set up the permission for your database for the user connecting through the network. The easiest thing is give the appropiate permission to all hostnames. There are some very good examples in MySQL's manual.
