Thank you, Eric. I allowed 1433 on the server's Windows firewall and I'm now able to setup the ODBC connection.

I have a new SQL 2012 install and I'm trying to setup an ODBC connection to it. I am unable to connect to it on a number of PCs so I don't believe it's PC related. I type in the data source and server name and enter the sa credentials and then it tells me that the SQL server does not exist or access denied. I can ping the SQL server successfully so I know I have a connection to it, I'm just not sure what's blocking it. Any suggestions?
