   That comes later. There is a checkbox on that page that permits your   
   to avoid connection on that point.

   I can't help you to fight your IT department. All I know is that you say   
   that your application can connect when it runs on the same machine, but   
   the ODBC wizard cannot.   
      
   Well, either ODBC is doing something differently, or something is not the   
   way you are telling me it is. What API does the application use?
