I am having a problem migrating an ASP application from IIS5 to IIS6.

The application runs an activeX on the server sid, which connects to
another machine using TCP/IP sockets. It works on the IIS5 but not on
the IIS6.

I create the object with no problems, but calling the method that
opens the socket fails, and I get a message regarding error 80010105.

I believe it is a security problem and would like to know what are the
steps required for successfuly openning a socket using an activeX
called from an ASP page.

The os is server 2003, and the activeX dll is written in vc++.

Thanks,

Ofer.
