I am running MAC with parallels installed. I have windows 7 Pro installed on Parallels, and SQLServer Express 2012 installed on Windows 7.

I am trying to connect to the SQL Server database from the Mac OS, but not having any luck.

I followed this post here, but still unable to connect. So I am thinking it may have to do with it running in a VM?

I’m receiving the following error when attempting to connect:

ERROR: An error occurred while trying to make a connection to
the database: 

JDBC URL: jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://10.211.55.4:1433;appName=RazorSQL;ssl=request;useCursors=true

Login

out.

I am able to ping the IP address.

Has anyone set this up? Any tricks or pointers you can suggest?

Many thanks in advance

    It turned out to be the firewall on Windows 7. Once I created a rule to allow traffic through on Port 1433, I was able to connect fine.

    This was done by

    1. opening “Windows Firewall with Advance Security”.
    2. Selecting “Inbound Rules” > “New Rule”.
    3. Selecting “Port” as the rule type, then entering 1433 as the port number to allow.
