asp.net vb / oracle problem



Hopefully, I frame this problem/question correctly.

I have some code written/updated in visual studio 2003. This code when
setup on other machines where I have installed the Oracle 9i client,
and the Oracle 9.? odbc drivers will connect to my oracle database
when debugging. I ported the SAME code onto a new machine, installed
visual studio 2003, installed IIS, installed the .net frameworks 1
thru 3, registered the .net framework but when I am going through the
code and it attempts to open a
connection to the database, I get the following error below and like i
said, the same code works on other machines, with the same odbc
drivers, so i can't remember what step or proces i am missing to make
sure that the code knows how to recognize that the oracle client is
installed.:

************************************************** *********

A snippet of the code that makes the connection is a s follows

gsConnectionString = OLEDB_PROVIDER & "User ID=username;Password=" &
DB_DEV_ADMIN_PASSWORD & ";Data Source=mdevl.domain.com"

where OLEDB_PROVIDER =

Public Const OLEDB_PROVIDER As String = "Provider=MSDAORA.1;"

Dim cn As OleDbConnection = OpenDatabase(gsConnectionString)

Shared Function OpenDatabase(ByVal gsConnectionString As String) As
OleDbConnection
Dim cn As New OleDbConnection(gsConnectionString)
cn.Open()
Return cn
End Function

Oracle Pl/SQL connects just fine. The odbc connections to mdevl are
working just fine

What gives
