ODBC DNS information error

[dysong3]

HI all,

 

I am a novice with ODBC.  I am trying to set up an ODBC access and am having a bit of trouble.  Perhaps someone can steer me in the right direction. My set up is FMS 13 on one dedicated machine.  And FMPA 14 on several other machines. On the server the ODBC Manager succeeds in establishing a "system DNS" with access to a given file.  However on the other computers I get this message

 

I have given read and write permissions to the file odic.ini and its enclosing folder and yet I keep on getting this error message. I have installed the latest ODBC drivers, opened port 2399, installed the latest FM updates for xDBC in their various versions.  I'm at a loss
