Jdbc-bridge-sql server 2000

Question

Hi all,
I have been developed a web application for bank reporting purpose,
here are some java classes, and all the DB connections ceated and controlled in these classes,
in my project, I am using bridge method for connecting to DB, the syntax of connection code is below:
Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("DatabaseName","CreditCard");
//props.put("characterEncoding", "UTF-8");
//props.put("useUnicode", "true");
props.put("user", "sa");
props.put("password", "");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433", props);
when in the url I use "localhost", the program works properly, but when I change the ip to other computer, I receive this error:
[Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error establishing socket
Note that I have access to this computer, I can ping it and ...
please help me dear workmates...
Best,
Robin

"I am using bridge method for connecting to DB" - when you say "bridge", it makes me think of the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver.
But the class name you're using is the M$ SQL Server JDBC driver. Your language confuses me a little.
When I connect to SQL server, I give it the name of the database, too. You don't. Maybe you should. Mine would look like this:
String url = "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://host:1433/database;selectmethod=cursor";
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);Can you telnet ip-address 1433 successfully? You're sure that the listener is up and running?
I'd put another property into those props: "selectmethod=cursor", or do it as I suggested above. - MOD
