[WinMac] Problems connecting a Mac to SQL Server

I'm trying to connect to SQL Server 4.21 on an NT 3.51 server from a Mac running
0S 8.1 using Excel 98 and the ODBC SQL Server Driver PPC. I've used ODBC setup
to create a user data source under User DSN. This was very easy to do user my NT
4.0 PC so I used the same settings for the Mac. When I try to connect using MS
Query through Excel 98 I get a connection failed error. Microsoft's knowledge
base says that this will happen if I'm using a File DSN and to create a User DSN
but I am already using a User DSN.
