SQL Links 32 MS SQL Server 6.0 NT 3.51/4.0 local connection/server

Local connection to SQL Server 6.x from NT without a network 
card installed. 
A 16bit connection is successful using the NT machine name but the 32bit 
SQL Link eventually returns the error "server is unavailable 
or does not exist."  

Leaving  the SERVER NAME blank for the ALIAS and the MSSQL DRIVER 
will allow a successful connection (the Driver's SERVER NAME parameter
will be used as a default if the MSSQL alias SERVER NAME is left 
blank).

There seems to be a difference between how the 16bit W3DBLIB and 
the 32 bit NTWDBLIB connect to a local machine/MS SQL Server.
