Check the Server
attribute in your ODBC data source specifies a valid machine name or IP address. Check that the machine name can be resolved using DNS lookup or is present in /etc/hosts
. Check that you are on the same network as the target host by pinging
the machine:
ping myhost
If ping
times out or fails, either the DNS lookup is not working properly or there is some other networking or routing issue that needs to be resolved. Contact your network administrator.
