Hi everyone,

I have just written a small PHP script that uses ODBCSocketServer.exe a small app that allows PHP to retrieve data from an Access database. The .exe is located on a WinXp computer and the script will (hopefully) be located on a remote webserver somewhere in the north of England.

On my home network everything works perfectly, the script retrieves data from an Access database on Box1 and stores it in a MySQL database on Box2... (no probs, i sit there looking very pleased with myself :) ), however when the script is transferred to the webserver I get 'Permission Denied' when trying to access Box1 (this provides the internet connection for the home network) here. The PHP script is on a FreeBSD machine running Apache 1.3.22 and PHP 4.1.2.

Everything this end is working the DSN and ODBCSocketServer are setup. As I said above the script executes perfectly on Box2.

I assumming that WinXP is looking for a user authentication of some kind. I've been searching the 'net and racking my brains for the past 2 days trying to find a way of solving the problem, as yet I haven't been able to come up with a solution :-( Does anyone have any ideas??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
