there will be a file in your home directory called ".odbc.ini"

when you open the file you will see your DB name in between []

then execute the below command at the prompt.
Code:
isql db_name db_user

then you will get a SQL prompt.

Advise calling your University IT support department and tell them what you typed, what you expected to happen, and what actually happened. Write it down before you call and this will earn you respect.

Ps. Sounds like a fundamental setup issue with your PC which local IT support will have seen before. Do not be embarrassed - make the call.
