Error in establishing socket (sqlserver2000 driver)

[satya nath]

Hi friends!

I am using JDBC to connect to sqlserver2000 driver i had downloaded sqlserver2000 sp3 driver and set my classpath to three jar files.

when i am trying to connect through java using
Driver d = (Driver)Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver").newInstance();
Connection dbCon = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433;User=sa;Password=sa;selectMethod=cursor");

It is showing Connection failure :[Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error establishing socket.

Please tell me how to resolve this problem
