Why can't I connect to an ODBC-ODBC Bridge server running on a clustered Windows server by using virtual IP addressing?

If you find that a telnet my_server 8888 command fails with:

Connecting To my_server...Could not open a connection to host on port 8888 : Connect failed

try a netstat -a command on the ODBC-ODBC Bridge server machine. The command output should be:

windows
=======
TCP server_name:8888 server_name:0 LISTENING

This confirms the Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge server is running and listening on port 8888.

If the ODBC-ODBC Bridge server machine returns the above output, you may be connecting to the wrong hostname or IP address. Try running ipconfig /all and then use the IP address returned by this command.
