<p>Hi,<br>
 <br>
maybe it is just a bad copy/paste but the URL must have a big N at database<strong>N</strong>ame<br><span style="color:#0000ff;"><span style="font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;">jdbc:sqlserver://xxxx:1433;database</span></span><span style="color:#282828;"><span style="font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;"><strong>N</strong></span></span><span style="color:#0000ff;"><span style="font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;">ame=AdventureWorks2012</span></span><br>

look at this video, it may be interresting<br>

 <br>
Other thing sometimes, SQL Server installation does not enable TCP network protocols. To check it<br>
1. Launch the SQL Server Configuration Manager<br>
2. Select the SQL Server Network Configuration tab. <br>
3. Enable the TCP IP protocol if it is not enabled. <br><br>
Also The default port may not be 1433.</p>
<p>To find the port it is listening on, right-click on the TCP IP protocol and scroll all the way down to the IP All heading. There should be a section called TCP Dynamic Ports.<br>
This should list the port SQL Server is listening on. You can then put this value into the port field.<br><br>
Make sure to restart your server before trying to connect.</p>
