Are you using a transaction on “Computer One?”

It could also be a question of whether the connection is being recreated
between when you issue the LOCK and when you do whatever work.

Both the above are from:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/lock-tables.html

I'd encourage you to test the functionality you're expecting from a MySQL
prompt instead of another language to confirm if you're operating with the
correct queries or if the problem lays in the interface layer.
