I have Coldfusion 8 running on my Mac, and SQL Server 2005
running on my Windows XP OS (Fusion 2.0). I would like Coldfusion
to be able to connect to a local datasource within SQL Server. Can
someone give me some step by step instructions as to how to
accomplish this? I realize that I will have to use a bridged
connection, and point coldfusion to an IP address within XP. Just
to reiterate, the datasource is not located on a server, but on my
local machine (XP). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

yeah, i cant tell you exactly how to do it because i've never
done it before. But i remember when setting up MySQL, there was a
button that allowed for it to be sent over the network instead of
just the localhost. Though this can be a potential security risk.
Because if you can connect to it, other's can as well.
So it's possible to, probably just go into your mysql box and look at the settings. Just guessing, I dont think it would be that difficult. You'll just need a switch or a router to connect to your MySQL box and know what IP address it's on, etc.
