ODBC Driver Error 800004005, Specified Error Could Not by loaded, system error 5

[Glenn Henderson]

I use mySQL server in two different access modes. One is through a VB.exe application and we never ever have a problem with that one. The other is other a web .asp application and we sometimes have the following message (but not all the time) on user machines.

***********************************************
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 5 (MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver).

We have tried both DNS and DNS-less connection for the .asp and both return the same intermittent connection problem. I run 3 machines in my office. 1 connects all the time without a problem, 1 is through a VPN and connects all the time without a problem, the 3rd sometimes has a connection problem with the error above. My users seem to experience the same intermittent connection as my third machine. However, once I connect with the 1st machine, everybody can access the database for a period of time. If I let the 1st machine be idle, after a time my users can not access again.

I am sure that I did something wrong, but I just can't figure out what yet. Users are only reading the database from the web application, no writes.
