Didn't work for me at 1st either, until I changed localhost to the name of the server PC in the client ini file. Glad I stuck with it. This is pretty cool.
Only a couple of places I know of for user name and password.
In PH Setup the Socket Server section needs to match the Socket Server Section in the eHome Setup Wizard.
Other than that there is only the PH database DSN setup that has a step by step walk-through hereandhere.

I tried it on 3 PC's with:
Code:
W2000 (server and Pro)
Database Connection cannot be made..
not even a after a reboot
->cause unknown
|
|
|
Code:
W2003 Server ent. Edition
Database Connection is made and tests OK, however EHome cannot connect... replaced servernames with actualnames and then with IP's, Reboot had no effect
-> cause unknown
|
|
|
Code:
XP-Home
Same workaround as W2003.. nothing!!
|
|
|
done everything acording to the Help...
No Dice...!

I can't get the ODBC setup to work... whenever I try, I get a warning about an invalid user ID or password. I'm 100% sure that my password is correct.
Not sure where to go from here.

The DB connection is the biggest pain to get right. It is 2 steps.
1 - the ODBC setup. Follow the instruction to the letter. Nothing more, nothing less.
2 - the EH setup in the wizard. This one should be easy if step 1 is good.
Now EH uses the DAO to connect to the ODBC layer so you need the DAO installed on your machine. I have 2 tests machines and both have the DAO installed as a default. When working with TonyNo his machine did NOT have it installed. (For TonyNo, step 1 had worked) So, we he went here
and installed. This did not work (as it seems not to work for many other products too) He then installed Excel from MS Office and that worked. At this point I am not sure why a MS Office install fixes the DAO but hey, its microsoft...
Hope this helps.

In doing a little more research on the DAO. There is a DAO 3.6 EXE that fixes some DAO problems. Search the net for DAO36.exe
Again, from above. Step 1 has worked but Step 2 failed.

Just amazing how it works on some machines but not others. Well, I just found out that with Dave's upgrade from ASA 6 to ASA 7 I can now use the ADO.

Please pardon my ignorance, but Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot is DAO? I have no clue what this is or why I need it, or how the page in your link helps me get it.
I attempted to add the Adaptive Server Anywhere 7.0. I followed the instructions to a "T", but it tells me that the username and/or password are bad.
I don't have Office installed on this machine (it's an older machine dedicated to running PowerHome), but I can try that to see if it might fix something.
I tried the EH setup as well, but I figured that there's no sense in troubleshooting issues with this until I get the ODBC stuff set up.
Thanks for any help you can give!!!
-John

DAO
Apparently is something that some machines have and others don't, and is sometimes messed up depending on version, but is needed for all this to work.
