'Test' connection button gives no message, just an 'OK' button... and connection doesn't work

Hello,

I am setting up a user for ODBC access to a PostgreSQL server on the
LAN, as I have done a few times before...

Using the same settings, quadruple-checked, system DNS - but the 'Test'
connection gives no message, just the '!' icon and an 'OK' button on
just this one PC...

All clients are running XP Pro, SP2 and all up to date on other patches,
etc

I opened up port 5432 and then turned the Windoze firewall totally off
just in case it was that - no luck there...

This client PC can browse to the shared directories and change the
allowed files on the server as expected, so seemingly not a windows
permission thing...

Driver is v8.2.5...

And not surprisingly the Excel file with an ODBC link to selected data
in the PostgreSQL database that works on other clients doesn't here...

Very confused!

Any help much appreciated...
