How would I go about connecting asp.net intranet pages with a remote mysql database?

How would I go about connecting asp.net intranet pages with a remote mysql database? I have full access to both servers.

Usually, I connect my asp.net intranet pages, with a sql server which is in our own internal company network, I’ve never needed to connect to a remove mysql server before. However, I create php pages on our remote server all the time, which connect with a mysql server in the same network on which the php pages run.

UPDATE 1:

Forgot to mention that the asp.net pages are behind a firewall which only has ports http and ssh open.

    You can connect using ADO.NET and the MySQL Connector available here:

    There are also other alternatives here:

    EDIT: The firewall shouldn’t be an issue as you’re establishing an outbound connection (from the website to your database).
