It sounds like the most likely cause is that the users don't have adequate
permissions to the database. To confirm whether this is the case, might you
be able to answer the following questions:

1. Is an exception thrown when attempting to connect the the database from
the "user" machines? If so, could you please provide the exception details?

2. What kind of database are you using (e.g.: SQL Server, Oracle, Access,
etc.)?

3. Are you authenticating against the database and, if so, are you using
Windows or database accounts? (If you're not sure about the answer to this
one, please provide the database connection string, replacing any real user
credentials with garbage data.)
