I'm using netbeans 6.7.1 and i'm trying to connect to the sql server 2000 database that i have created and i get this error message,

SQL Exception: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The TCP/IP connection to the host pc05801, port 1433 has failed. Error: "connect timed out. Verify the connection properties, check that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host and accepting TCP/IP connections at the port, and that no firewall is blocking TCP connections to the port.".

Can anyone help me please!!!

Have you done those things that are listed in the exception?

Check any firewalls. Check that the DB is running. Check that the DB is configured to accept TCP/IP connections and that it is actually listening on the port mentioned.

If you are unable to do those things, then find a Microsoft forum to ask how.
