Dick Applebaum pointed out a useful JDBC client for this sort of thing - ViennaSQL. It's a runnable JAR file: http://vienna.sourceforge.net/ > Hey -- as an side, when you say the ODBC connection work, > are you simply using the "Test Datasource" in the MSSQL > ODBC setup?

I'm pretty sure this isn't correct. When you use this test, you connect to the specific database, using the specific username and password. The "ping" part happens before you even get that far in the ODBC Control Panel - when you select a server or server alias.
