Mickael, Add an entry in your host file for your machine - or use "localhost" or 127.0.0.1. When you say "my machine name' you are really talking about an NBT name - and the JDBC system would not be able to resolve that. It uses (in order) HOSTS file, DNS and IP.

This is a new laptop that has just been installed for me. I have installed CF 6.1 on the machine because that what the customer is using and Sql Server. I am not able however to get an MS SQL dsn in CF to work. I go to data sources in the CF Admin Add the Datasource Name and select Microsoft SQL Server as a Driver On the next screen I enter the database name, the server (my machine name) username and password. But the message that I get is Connection Verification failed for data source : mydsn Error Establishing Socket: Connection refused : Connect But if I make the DSN via the OBDC manager in windows, then point to that DSN using the ODBC socket option it works? What am I doing wrong? Shouldn't I be able to just connect. I am running XP pro with Service Pack 2 , and have made sure that fire wall is turned off. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
