win2k adv server/ iis5.0/vb6.0/ado and/or odbc connections on client machine
i have an mdb on win2k adv server machine and want internet read/write to it
from both a non-windows, red hat, webserver using asp/vbscript and a win
xp/2000 machine with vb6.0/ado with or without odbc set up
how do you set up the win2k server machine and/or mdb???
i know enough that some application/service needs to be listening on some
port

so far i have the mdb on my test win2k webserver and can write to it from
asp files running on that server, no surprise here, its a local file on the
server
i can access the mdb from a vb6.0/ado client win2k machine on the same lan
as the server using odbc with a mapped network drive or connection string
with unc
the conn str unc works with the public ip addr but not domain name? ie
this works, ie i can read/write
\\111.222.333.444\share\dirpath\file.mdb however it doesn't work when truly
exteranl, see below error
but not this
\\domain.name\share\dirpath\file.mdb '[ms] [ms access odbc error] disk or
net work file error'
