Netbeans JDBC to MSSQL 2000 Problem / No Time Out or Error

Hello All,

A Java/Netbeans Rookie question..(tried Google can't find answer)..

Trying a New DB connection to MS SQL 2000 through Netbeans.

Followed the instructions found

HERE->http://www.netbeans.org/kb/50/using-netbeans/dbconn.html#73418

Runtime

-->Drivers

>New connection

I added the driver (mssqlserver.jar).

Netbeans recognizes this.

when I try to create a connection to a DB in SQL,

I get an as expected "connecting to DB" message

But, I never get a connection, nor do I get an Error, nor a time out.

Tried intentionally a wrong user id/password to force an error, however do not get one.

I assume the error is on the Netbeans side of house (since it's not throwing the login Error from MS SQL).

My MSSQL server group is set up as

Einstein\SQLGUY

--DB-->Northwind

The Netbeans DB Url I'm using is

jdbc:sqlserver://Einstein\SQLGUY:1433;databaseName=Northwinds;

I can Query Northwinds in SQL, so all looks o.k. In SQL.

Thanks for the help.

揜ookie?
