jdbc-sql 2000 error

Hi,
I'm having trouble connecting to Sql Server 2000 via Java 2 (5.0).
I'm on Windows Server 2003 and trying to connect locally from the
server. I've downloaded the jar files (mssqlserver.jar,msutil.jar,
msbase.jar) containing the jdbc driver from microsoft and placed them in
the same directory as my java file, below is a snippet of my code to
test the connection:
public void openTest() throws Exception
{
Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver" );
Connection m_Conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://local:1433", "", "");
}
I compile using the following command there are no errors:
javac -classpath ".;./mssqlserver.jar;./msbase.jar;./msutil.jar"
Test.java
At runtime i get the following error,
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
com.microsoft.jdbc.
sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)

at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.forName(Unknown Source)
at Hello.openTest(HelloPrint.java:30)
at HelloPrint.main(HelloPrint.java:11)
Can anyone help? Many thanks in advance.
InderHi
It's been a while since I used the JDBC driver!
microsoft.public.sqlserver.jdbcdriver may be a better newsgroup to post to.
You may want to make sure the .jar files are on the classpath and you may
want to re-run the setup just in case there is some corruption.

>|||Hi John,
I've got that error fixed; you were right, it was a classpath
problem. Now i have another error,
[Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error establishing socket.
when i run the following,
Connection m_Conn =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://servername:1433;
DatabaseName=Northwind","","");
The problem is that my 'servername' is the same as my windows server
2003 domain and when i setup my sql server 2000 i set it to use the
windows authentication, so now i'm not sure what to put for the username
and password in the above string.
Many thanks again,
Inderjit

This may help a bit.

AFIK the JDBC driver does not support Windows Authentication as it is
not a type 4 driver. You may want to look at
