connect to SQL-Server via JDBC

Hello,
I tried a lot of hint from some newsgroups, but without success.
I try to connect to a Microsoft SQL-Server 2000 (Servicepack 4) via JDBC
(original driver from Microsoft). But I get the following error
[SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error establishing socket.
My Applikation and my SQL-Server runs at an WindowsXP (SP2)
Please, can you help? nice day and a lot of thanks - Tino Langer
Probably firewall on XP blocking the port.
