Unable to get connection

In my app starting up, I am getting the exception:

"No connection could be made because the General SQL error.[sic] target
machine actively refused it"

The only thing done on the target machine was to remove zone alarm. I am
offsite. Why would a target machine actively refuse a connection?

Any ideas?

Thanks

 

Re:Unable to get connection


Closed port on firewall.

Missing or corrupt remote connections certificate if you are using the
certified version.

Sorry, should have said I am not using the certified version.

Depends on firewall software. Also can be that IB isn't running. Since a
service was changed may be some dependency also, making IB not to start.

IB is running. (It is a Windows 98 machine that it is on-not my choice).
