I am running on a new dev setup for SharePoint 2010 and trying to setup some External Content types. I think that I have setup BCS correctly (since I see it running in the central administration). When I go into SharePoint designer 2010 and try to setup a new External Content Type, I get the following error:

"There is no Business Connectivity Service associated with the current web context."

Am I missing something with the configuration or why am I not able to setup a new External Content Type to point to my existing SQL database
