| SQL Server 2008 running beautifully on WinXP on vmware on my 64-bit Mac ProEverything is accessible directly, with SSMSTrying to achieve this from my Mac ODBC app, and also something called Cellica on the iPad... let's look at the first one for now.Mac Pro has two ethernet ports, one assigned to the Mac, the other one for Windows. Both surf fine. I've rebooted the router a few times to confirm IP addressessqlservr is running with TCP enabled, default 1344. Mac pings the IP OK.Windows Firewall is offSSMS is fine with WinAuth, and sa login/pasword, and I don't want to mess with Win domains using Mac softwareAahhhh... can't ping the Mac from command prompt in Windows. ???Testing ODBC just sits waiting to timeout.Exactly all the same trouble when I try setting up an ODBC connection on Windows too!What do I need to do? Enable ODBC? |

| If the Network settings for your VM are set to NAT then it can't access the Mac host. I've never tried it but someone I know has gotten it to work with a bridged network connection. |
