ActiveX control "delays" when accessing mySQL database wheninternet is down

We are having this strange problem with an ActiveX control
of ours, in fact all of our web application's activeX
controls have the same problem.

On some networks, when the internet connection is down, the
control takes about 20-30 seconds to open.

The controls all reference a MySQL database directly using
a connection string with an ip address.

i.e = "server=192.168.0.1;database=mydb" etc.

What is causing this? On some networks this doesn't happen?

Thanks

Re: ActiveX control "delays" when accessing mySQL database when internet is down

Putting

skip-name-resolve
skip-host-cache

in my .ini file kind of half helps this problem out, it brings down the
delay from about 1 minute down to 5 seconds. But this delay still exists...

This is definately something to do with DNS, as proposed by our network
administrator...

Anything else I can check for?
