Let me clarify that. You should only have one Emerald DSN and it should
be a system DSN. I have seen instances where having both caused
problems.

You may have you network library mis-configured. Until you actually
prove your SQL Server ODBC DSN is correct, can connect, and working,
we can only take guesses. I'm just trying to narrow the possibilities.

I'm still leaning at OBDC/SQL Server client config for the problem.
Run the SQL Client Configuration utility and see what your
default network transport is and see if you have any configs
in the advanced (you shouldn't).
