Unable to Connect Using JDBC

[frperalta1]

I have followed the instructions on different postings but have not had any success.

Every time I click on the Tables tab I keep getting the following error message and I don't know where to start with this, please help:

Unable to connect to any hosts due to exception: java.net.UnknownHostException: localhost

Hello,

the error message tells you what is wrong: The Computer "localhost" cannot be resolved - you must set a real ip-adress like 127.0.0.1. I had the same problem - but i never found any solution for it at forums, docs, ... so I hope it will help you!

Ciao,
Lysander

Thanks for your reply! How do you "set a real ip-adress like 127.0.0.1"? I guess I am a real newbie.

Instead of "localhost" you write 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.0.1 or something like that! Just replace the localhost string by the IP string.

Ciao,
