ODBC error while using a RAS connection

My company is in the process or writing a VB 6 app which is accessing an existing Sybase SQL Anywhere 5.0 database. I need the app to be able to connect up via the modem to update remote users. The app works just fine as long as I am phyically connected to the network, but if I RAS in I am able to browse the network with no problems. The problem is that when I try to connect to the database I get the following error.

-2147467259
[Sybase][ODBC]Unable to connect to database server: unable to start specified database

I have extended the time out to 2 minutes thinking that the modem is not returning the results fast enough, but that does nothing. I am using version 5.0 ODBC drivers and connecting up using ADO. I beleive my connection process is correct seeing as it works when I am connect directly to the network. Any thoughts?
Thanks for any help with this matter.

Run your SQL Anywhere executable with only the -v
option, pipe the results into a text file and
post it here along with the exact subversions of ODBC
and VB6.

I suspect a version incompatibility and if you
let me have this info I should be able to tell.
