status:Failure-test failed: cannot connect to MS sqql server on localhost. i've tried installling the 3rd party jtds jar in tools and restarting. no success. i've also tried changing the host name from localhost to 'machine name\sqlexpress' no success. i'm trying to login with the windows authentication. also checked my tcp/ip, pipes configuration with mssql and they are enabled. thanks.
