Connection Failed on Client

Any help appreciated:

I've got an access database set up on a windows server with linked
tables to a 3rd party database. Some of these linked tables are used
to populate dropdown boxes on forms, etc. I am using the ODBC driver
to connect to the 3rd party database. When I open the form, it asks
me for the username and password to connect to the 3rd party database.
I put this in and everything works great!

Now on a client machine, I have a drive mapped to the server and a
shortcut to the access database on the server. When I open the form
from the client shortcut and enter username/password, i get the
"Connection Failed" error.

Any ideas?
