My bad too .. I am using the MS SQLServer driver. According to the docs, you should put (local) for server name if the server is on the same machine. I've tried that. And I've also tried using 127.0.0.1 and the computer name (notebook) and always the same result:
[quote] java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Unknown host: (local) [/quote] I've set up dozens of DSNs before using this same procedure, and the only difference that I can see is that this time I have CFMX7 installed under JRUN. It worked flawlessly in all my setups before from CF4.2 onwards. now it doesnt.
