Larry, I use VirtualBox for the PHIS SQL server instance that I have running. It is free and a stolen copy of XP (I have no shame stealing 13 year old software) running SQL Express 2008.
It has a Port Forwarding feature that allows you to do NAT to the VM and setup virtual port forwards. I just forwarded 1433/1434 TCP/UDP and then set the datasources to be 127.0.0.1 port 1433. Works like a charm! -J.J. On Mon, May 14, 2012 at 11:36 AM, Larry C. Lyons <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > have a question for al the mac people.
