mssql error in Win2003 when not connected to network

[wfkinnc]

Please help...

I'm running Windows 2003 on a dell laptop..and when it boots up AND I'm NOT connected to a network, my java routines do not find the mssqldriver. (When I reboot AND I AM connected, it works fine).

The mySQL driver which I also use works fine in this environment (connected/unconnected)....it's just the mssql drive I'm having problems with..

Here is the error when I run some java code connecting to

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver

Does anyone have any experience w/ Win 2003 and what they've done to clamp down on security..which may have caused this problem?? I can't get an active connection for some reason!!

Any help/direction wld be greatly appreciated.
