Sounds like you forgot to fill in the hostname of the FreeBSD box in
your DSN configuration, and the XP machine is trying to connect to a
server on itself.

At least one :) Multiple slashes or backslashes in a path (barring the
\\server\ notation for win32 UNC paths) are always silently compressed
to a single one.

Gah. The wordwrapping on this "form" is so mangled I cannot bring
myself to even quote it (The "7" column is wrapped, just like "them" in
the paragraph I quoted). Download the win32 static binary.
