Question

I am trying to connect to MS SQL Server 2005 from java, I am getting the following error,
can anyone help me ?

private static final String DRIVER_CLASS = "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"; 
Class.forName(DRIVER_CLASS); 
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433","sa","root");

I added the following 5 jar files :

• msbase
• mssqlserver
• msutil

The exception is :

Is you firewall on? If so, maybe you will need to make an exception for port 1433
