How to define port number with DB2 ODBC driver?

Hi,

I'm using DB2 8.2 on Linux and have downloaded and installed the DB2 ODBC
driver which is installed under unxiODBC. I have defined a data source to
connect to the local db2 but when I try to connect I get:

[08004][unixODBC][IBM][iSeries Access ODBC Driver]Communication link failure.
comm rc=10061 - CWBCO1049 - The iSeries server application is not started

When I strace this is shows a connect to port 8471 but I believe my server is
listening on port 50000. From the /etc/services file:

db2c_db2inst1 50000/tcp

A netstat also shows listen on 50000. How do you tell the DB2 ODBC driver or
client libraries to use port 50000?

Perhaps http://www.connectionstrings.com/ can help.
