This problem drove me up the wall and back, why MySQL made their client library of version 3 incompatible with the server of version 4 I don't know!

If you're using DBD on the ISP and the database on the ISP, then it is up to them to make sure they are using compatible client and server libraries.

If you're using DBD at home, and connecting to the database on the ISP, then you'll have to ensure you're using the same client library version as the server version used in the states.

This isn't going to be solved any other way than ensuring client/server major version numbers are the same..
