odbc communication link failure

Hello,

I have a problem in ODBC that when I open a call logging program, it display "08S01 communication link failure. However, the connection between the driver and data source (in Sydney) is ping ok and data source test successful.

My PC os : window xp professional sp2

ODBC drvier version : 2000.85.1117.00

Can anyone help me to solve the problem ?

Thanks

Rex,

Could share out the exact error message from your odbc driver when connect fails? Also, is your server name instance and default instance. Is it listened on TCP or NP. can you connect to the server from the same machine. What exactly the connection string you were using for the local odbc connection?

Thanks,
