ODBC to linked server

I have created a linked server using an OLE DB service in a SQL Server 2000
database running on Windows NT 4.
I can see all the tables and views of the linked server in Enterprise
manager, but when I go to a client machine and try to setup a DSN to the
linked server using an SQL Server driver all I can see for a default
database is the example Microsoft databases (Northwind, Pub, etc.). How do I
get the ODBC driver to use the linked server as a default database?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.ODBC cannot "see" linked servers. You can issue queries using the fully qua
lified server.db.dbo.tablename to be able to select from the table using a p
XXX-through query
