I have just downloaded DbVisualizer und want to start my first Connection. Connecting to MS SQL Server 2008 database using SQL Server(jTDS) Driver I get the following error message when I try to connect: An error occurred while establishing the connection: Long Message: Network error I/OException: Connection refused: connect Details: Type: java.sql.SQLException SQL State: 08S01 Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Hi, You find some hints in the Users Guide: http://confluence.dbvis.com/display/UG91/Fixing+Connection+Issues In your case, the error message indicates a general network error, e.g. a firewall blocking access, or that the SQL Server is not configured to listen on TCP/IP calls. Best Regards, Hans
