Hey all,
After some investigation with @informentalm, the solution was to add the ODBC connection in the “User DNS” rather than the “System DNS” tab.
Hey @informental,
First make sure you have added your IP to your trusted sources:

Here is the article on how to usually connect and from where to get your crednetials:

Lastly, can you post your connection string(editing the sensitive data) that you are using to connect to your Database?
