Hi there,

I am having major trouble connecting to my database via ODBC.

The db is local (but I have a mirror on a virtual machine), so I am trying to use the connectionstring:

Dsn=MonetDB;host=TARBELL

where TARBELL is the name of my computer. However, it doesn't connect. BUT, this string does:

Dsn=MonetDB;host=localhost

as does

Dsn=MonetDB

Can anyone explain this? I am at a complete loss.

I have taken down my firewalls (at least until I get this figured out), so that can't be the problem.

I eventually want to change the TARBELL to the mirrored virtual machine running another instance of the database.

Many thanks, Brett
