I've had *limited* success with wine and ODBC drivers. At one point ( a
long time back ) I had MyODBC ( 3.51.11 ) and SQL Server drivers
working. For SQL Server, you have to use password authentication ( not
'trusted connection' ).

Your error sounds like the driver can't convert the server name into an
IP address. Are you able to resolve it? Have you tried with an IP
address instead ( or adding the server name to /etc/hosts )?
