Problem with MySQL

I am trying to access an MySQL server from asp, I have checked that all the tables ect exist using webmin I use the following code just as a test to work out how to use it:

dim adocon
Dim rstest
Dim strsql
set adocon = server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
adocon.ConnectionString = "Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}; Server=192.168.1.20; Database=anope; UID=****; PWD=****; port=3306; Option=3"
adocon.open

The error message I get is

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Lost connection to MySQL server during query

/irc/test.asp, line 10

How to I either fix my asp code so it will not lose the connection, or fix the MySQL server so that it does not discconect me (as I am not sure what doing it). 

<-- edit

the adocon.open line

I have not set the timeout but the message come up as soon as you load the page, there is no dely in the processing as soon as you hit the refresh key its there. 

Humm, I will have to check with the unix guru of the outfit, the only thing I do know is that it uses one of the older versions rather than a newer one on freeBSD 5.3.  I will check up on the version of the sql server itself though.
