Fair enough. a) From web app, err msg for accessing a ms sql server 2000 -based db: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket to host and port: localhost:1433. Reason: Permission denied: connect b) From cf8 admin, datasource setup for an Access db: Connection verification failed for data source: donFname java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver]Internal network error, connection closed. The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver]Internal network error, connection closed. c) From cf8 admin, datasource setup for a ms sql server 2000-based db: Connection verification failed for data source: la89 java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket to host and port: 127.0.0.1:1433. Reason: Permission denied: connect The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket to host and port: 127.0.0.1:1433. Reason: Permission denied: connect Is likely that these db drivers have either been reset or un-registered when the ms 'engineer' messed around with my PC yesterday?
