ODBC fails but only from ASP page (12154)

Question

I have a working Win2k/MDAC 2.6 box, that can connect perfectly to an Oracle 8.1.7 on another machine. I can TNS ping this host, I set up an ODBC DSN and I can connect from the Oracle ODBC Test program. I wrote a simple script (see below) to test the connection, and run it as a Windows script (i.e. double click on the file) and it runs perfectly. All is great.
BUT, when I copy the exact same script into an ASP file (surround the script the the "<%" and "%>" delimiters) and run it, I get this:
ORA-12154 TNS could not resolve service name.
Anyone have any ideas why this script fails but ONLY from ASP??
Here is my simple script:
dim rs, conn
set conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.open "ora817"
Thanks very much,

Answer 1

I am using asp connecting an oracle 8.1.5
Using this :
Set Conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set RS=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")
Conn.Open Connection
RS.open SQL1, Conn
The only difference to your script is the server option
