ODBC Connection problems

[Trudye]

I'm not sure if this is the right forum if not pls let me know which forum I should address.

I am having problems setting up my ODBC connection between my SQL Server and my Database. I received two errors when I selected With Windows NT option on the DSN configuration screen, they are:
53 - Microsoft ODBC SQL Server Driver [DBNETLIB}ConnectionOpen (Connect();
17 - Microsoft ODBC SQL Server Driver [DBNETLIB} does not exist or access is denied.

When I selected with SQL Server I received the following errors;
2 - Microsoft ODBC SQL Server Driver [Shared memory}ConnectionOpen (Connect();

I tried to connect by using the System DSN tab in ODBC Admin.; highlighting the (Local Server} SQL Server that was listed there and clicking Configure.

When I was asked to enter the Server Name and server I took the defaults of: [Local Server] and Local.

Is there a step that I am missing?

Thank you so much,
Trudye
