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.

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.
