Server is up but DBVisualizer cannot even ping

[This topic is migrated from our old forums. The original author name has been removed]

Hello everyone, I am using Mac OS X 10.9.4 and Trying to connect to a MS SQL Server 2008. I ping the server and the port from terminal everything is ok. However, when I test the connection from DBVisualizer (ping server button) I get the following message: "The ping attempt timed out. Please verify that you have specified a correct hostname and port number." Please help, thanks in advance.

Hi, Are you using Java 7? If so, please try adding this line in Tool Properties, in the Java VM Properties area in the General category: -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true Java 7 tries to use ipv6 by default but this forces it to use ipv4: http://download.java.net/jdk7/archive/b123/docs/api/java/net/doc-files/net-properties.html Best Regards, Hans
