how to connect linked server to ibm db2

I'm trying to connect linked server to ibm db2 server
I'm confused about parameters:
product name?
data source (probably is name of the server?)
provider string?

See if the following articles help:
INF: Configuring Data Sources for the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;218590
Configuring Microsoft ODBC Driver for DB2

Is .NET important for a database professional?

|||You probably need an ODBC driver for DB2, which you will define as a
data source to access DB2. Try with StarSQL (www.starquest.com), fast
and easy to setup.
