If you want to connect to it from Oracle SQL Developer using jTDS driver it will throw a generic connection failure, as he is trying just TCP/IP. The error looks like this:

In ordrer to enable TCP/IP you have to do a few steps:

1. From SQL Server Configuration Manager, go and expand “Network Configuration”, choose “Protocols for SQL Server Express” and enable TCP/IP

2. Open TCP/IP properties page, go to the second tab “IP Addresses” and in the last field called “IPAll – TCP Port” enter your port number. You might want to choose 1433.

3. Restart SQL Server Express service.

4. Try again from SQL Developer. This time will work!
