Hi, I am new with Jaspersoft technology, I am trying to create a new datasource in EC2 with JDBC type, but gives me this error message which is something related to TCP/IP connection. "The TCP/IP connection to the host [hostName] , port 1433 has failed. Error: "null. Verify the connection properties. Make sure that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host and accepting TCP/IP connections at the port. Make sure that TCP connections to the port are not blocked by a firewall." I already tried some of the suggested configurations on SQL Server Configuration Manager for TCP/IP and Port settings, but still not working. Tried accessing the server with its port in command prompt using telnet and it is able to connect. Don't know what else I need to do on this. Really need to fix this up. I'm stuck on this. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
