Actually I can connect from the web server to the DB server using DSN (the odbc tool
under windows). What I cannot do is connect from ASP in the same way.
I have a work around, but I still would like to determine what the problem is with a
DSNless connection.
The work around is to use a DSN entry and call it, for example;
conn.open "dsn=myodbcconn; user=myuser; password=mypassword"
where myodbcconn is a "System DSN"
Why doesn't;
conn.open "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}; SERVER=myserver.com; USER=myuser;
PASSWORD=mypassword; DATABASE=myDB; PORT:3307; OPTION=35;"
work?
Yes the port number really is 3307.

If I understand you correctly, you can connect to both mysql servers from
localhost, but not to one from the other. To mysql, a user is a combination
of user and connecting host, so I think your problem translates as you can
connect as [EMAIL PROTECTED], but you cannot connect as [EMAIL PROTECTED]
You probably need to add a mysql user to allow this. See the manual for
the details: <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Privilege_system.html> and
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/GRANT.html>.
