I have just installed the MS SQL Server 2005 Express and, of course, I am trying to connect it with my test app but the thing is … for some reason I cannot connect it
I have already checked its port with the CP “netstat -an” but the outcoming list does not contain any 1433 port at all 🙁 The SQL service is running I could check it with the OS Services but its port is unavailable 🙁 I have installed MS SQL Server 2005 Express Management Studio but for some reason it connected the MS SQL successfuly 🙁
So the question is… How to install the MS SQL to be able connecting it with a client (Java) app?
For more information:
OS: Windows XP x86 SP3
MS SQL Server 2005 Express
Any useful comments are appreciated
Thanks

In the tree on the left, Select the nodes listed below and make sure that the Status of TCP/IP is “enabled”. In truth I’m not sure if they both have to be enabled or just one.
If they aren’t enabled, simply right click on them and click “Enable”.
I’m not positive that this will fix you’re problem, because it’s been a while since I ran into ‘my’ problem, but it sounds like the same thing.
