Hi: I just installed the latest version and tried connecting to a SQL server 2014 instance using Microsoft's JDBC driver. Attached document has screen shots of error messages I get. Any help in resolving this issue will be appreciated. Thanks. venki

Re: Help Connecting to a MS SQL server
Hi Venkat, SQL Server Management Studio may connect using some protocol other than TCP/IP, so please make sure that TCP/IP is enabled for the database and that it listens on port 1433. Best Regards, Hans

Hans: Yes, I had to configure the Windows Firewall to enable Port 1433. Thanks. I am able to connect to the database. venki
