Jim,
Are you sure D:\db\ exists and is visible from IIS on the server,
including permissions for the IIS account? I tested your code using a
path to a directory that did not exist and I get a page not found error
so maybe that's it. I usually create a db directory under the root for
the website. Then you can access the file using
dbpath = Server.MapPath("./db/HshhpTips.mdb")
That way you don't have to worry about moving the files to a different
server, the relative paths stay the same.

Looks like everything is going over port 80. The real drag is I can't
be sure it's even a hardware problem. We simplified the code to this
(it's ASP/VBScript so no data types,etc.):
<snip>
dim connectstring
dim cnn
dim dbpath
dbpath = "D:\db\HshhpTips.mdb"
connectstring = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source="
& dbpath
Set cnn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
'cnn.open connectstring
Response.Write "testing"
</snip>
The code runs if we leave the cnn.open line commented out but when we
put it back we now get a page not found error. Works fine on our dev
machine of course. I would think if it was a data access problem the
code would bail on the CreateObject call. Server's running Win2K BTW.

Jim,
<<Can anyone point me in the right direction?>>
Check the Firewall's log. It will show the IP address of the web
server, whether it was TCP or UDP packet, and the port it was trying to
use.

Thanks Frank (where'd you find that domain on your e-mail address??).
I searched msdn and found this list of Port Assignments for Common
Services
(http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/samplechapters/cnf
c/cn
fc_por_simw.asp - watch for wrapping). None seems to be what I'm
looking (AFAICT anyway). Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Jim DeMarco

I'm not sure what tcp/udp port(s) that Jet and OLEdb
use, but do you have those allowed to pass from the
DMZ to wherever it needs to go? i.e. the internal LAN
and the external Internet.
Usually DMZs are configured to ONLY allow the ports
necessary, such as HTTP, HTTPS, POP3, SMTP, etc.
