Hi,

Is the firewall enabled on your computer. Turn it off if you are on a corporate network.

Recreate the odbc connection and see if it works. Sometimes the sybase drivers are over written by microsoft drivers and so this happens.

Or else you can go for OLE DB Providers to connect to the database. OLE DB is an advanced protocol and much better than ODBC. ODBC is almost outdated.
