General :: Use MySQL Workbench On Dev Server?

Trying to use MySQL workbench on my dev server. Every time I try connecting I get: Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.1.101'

I'm using user josh with password testing. I set up the user with:

CREATE USER 'josh'@'192.168.1.100' IDENTIFIED BY 'testing'; and gave permisions:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'josh'@'192.168.1.100';
my /etc/my.cnf looks like this:
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

[Code]....
