In win98 I was able to utilize ASP and databses, but now on win2000, though everything looks set up right, I cannot view thos same pages without getting this error.

defined.Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

I've read I need to set up the dns on the remot server as well- which I think I have done.
I am on my computer and then we have all of our files on a "server" computer in our office...if that helps.

Wherever IIS is running, that is where you need to define your dsns.

so if you have all of your files on a computer named "theFileServer", then IIS running on a machine named "Intranet" then that is the machine you need to do it on.

thanks- I figured it out- I had to reset each databse connection for each ASP page in my site- and then it worked
