Re: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

This code is running under the context of your anonymous IIS user, probably,
which is most likely IUSR_machinename. This is an account local to that
machine. A server sitting next to it, in the same domain or not, will not
know who this user is that is trying to access this NETDRIVE share, so that
remote server will deny acccess to it. I'm guessing this is what the
problem is. See here: http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2168
