mysql on linux server

Hi,

 

I have a mysql database running on linux server, this server is intranet.  I try to connect in Power BI to the server unsuccessfully.

 

When try to connect it shows:

Unable to connect

We encountered an erro while tryin to connect

Details: "MySQL:Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts".

 

I check credentials are fine.

 

Why I entered was

Server: (the intranet IP of ther server)

Database: (the name of the db)

 

I choose Database and put the correct credentials.

 

Any help?Please?

Are you able to use the MySQL administrative tools on that same box to connect to the server?
