You need a vnode for the unix server on the Windows client.
Think of a vnode as a local name for a remote Ingres installation.
The vnodes on the unix server are irrelevant to the Windows client machine.
The only vnodes your ODBC stuff can see are the local ones on the
Windows machine. This should (partially) answer your next question, too.

You have to have Ingres Net installed and set up before you can set up
an ODBC data source pointing at Ingres. I'm not sure if there is a
Net download; if you have the Ingres installation CD set, you should be
able to load a Windows client from it (typically the Windows stuff is on
CD 1).
