Problem connecting to Oracle database using ASP

I have a test ASP page like the following. The IIS 5.0 and ORACLE 9i/Personal and the ASP all reside in my development machine. When browsed the ASP using IE6, the browser kept turning and eventually gave up. I created an ODBC DSN to test the connection using ODBC driver. The connection was successful. I also use VB6.0 SP1 to create a test project using the ODBC DSN and ORAOLDB. I also used the VB sample provided by Oracle in the OLEDB/SAMPLE/ directory. They all could connect to the ORACLE instance. I just can not get the ASP connection working. The same connection strings are used in all test.  Please help. Thanks.
