Could someone please explain why out of 8 separate computers 4 have connected to sql2005 using odbc and four have not. We are connecting from 4 different sites and each site has a computer that connected and one that did not.Obviously it is not the router firewall since one computer was able to connect at each site. |

| Thank you from responding. Yes the errors were sql errors 53 and 17 . Today I had the makers of the program I'm trying to network log into the computers and they could not solve the problem. We are using a vpn and the server has a RAS configured. I was able to log into the server with one of the clients and run the program by bypassing the ODBC module but the program is functioning weirdly like this alot of shimmering when the screen changes.What is going on here? Please help.Also I cannot ping the server but my client is listed on the domain server as connected. The RAS server has a separate IP address on ipconfig from LAN and WAN network interfaces. |

| What are error messages? Did you try to ping the server with ip address? If still can't ping, there is network issue. |
