I'm sorry for posting to the developers group, although I'm not one.
I just have a simple question and the other news group is not helping.
for three days now I'm trying to get an application connects to a MSSQL database on a windows box.
I'm running the following:
Mandrake 8.0 wine 20010731
windows 98 partition and sql server is installed on it
My application is built in Powerbuilder 6.0.
it comes up with the user name and password box which should be authenticated through the database.
when I submit the user name and password I get the following error:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL SERVER DRIVER][TCP?IP SOCKET]General network error
on the linux box I've already setup the MSSQL alias in the client connectivity utility of the sql server.
I just want to know if I'm configuring the native and builtin wrong in my conf file or what I'm trying to do is not doable at all.
I'll appreciate an answer so I can get some sleep, I'm literaly working on that for three days.
