Cannot connect to MS SQL Express with SQL developer

LeeDuncanJan 18 2012 — edited Jan 19 2012
I am having issues connecting to a MS SQL database with SQL developer, I have pasted a screen shot of my error message below, I have tried multiple blogs, websites, etc with no success.
Connection name: minc
username: domain\username
password: password

hostname: my local machine name
port: 1433

Error Message= Status : Failure-Test Failed: Cannot connect to Microsoft SQL Server on localhost

Also, please confirm the proper location of where the jdbc driver for MSSQL should be downloaded from and placed.

Please help.

Thanks

Larry
