Hi there,
I have just made a switch from sql server 2000 to sql server 2005 - that went without major problems...
My server is located in Denmark.
We have an office located in the US which are also connecting to our server - that goes without problems except for one machine connecting through ODBC directly (the others use remote desktop).
The machine also connected through ODBC when I was using the old server - and there never seemed to be any problems.
At first I could not see the machine by name, but I could ping it by ip-number.
I added it to the hosts file - and now I can ping it by name as well.
My problem is this:
- When I try to correct the ODBC settings I do not get my new aerver on the sql-server list.
Do I need some sort of software MDAC or so to update the drivers on the local machine in the US, so that they can see the server as well
I am to call up these guys today at 16.00 (danish time) - 6 hours from now - so any ideas on how to get this fixed would be nice.
Thank you in advance.
Martin

Hi there,
I solved my problem...
The ODBC settings were on the local macine in the US.
It turned out that the firewall settings over there was messed up.
Thanks for taking your time anyway :-)

Where are the ODBC settings to which you are referring
