Intermittent ODBC connection failures

Question

We are developing an in-house 32bit app. The app connects to a SQL Server. The test environment is SQL Server 2008 R2, and the live environment is SQL Server 2014 SP2.

Answer 1

Thanks to Birel for pointing me in the right direction. The answer was that on the new 2014 server, the 'SQL Server Browser Service' was not running. I set it to automatic startup, and started it. That resolved the issue.
