Hi Thomas, Thanks for the quick response. The Windows machine can see the Linux machine just fine - I can access the database from the Windows machine using the Database Manager gui, and in fact the database I'm testing with at the moment was created from the Windows machine using the Database Wizard.
I'm getting almost the same error messages when I try to access the database from the web SQL studio running on the same machine that the database is running from. This is why I think it has something to do with ODBC, but I could be wrong.
