FM 11 Adv Server JDBC issue

I'm trying to connect via JDBC to a database hosted on filemaker server 11 advanced.

I'm trying to connect with SQuirrel client and with a simpla java class (as exemplified by the odbc/jdbc guide that came with fmsa 11).

In both cases the connection just hangs. There are no errors returned, no time outs happen, nothing.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or if you were able to connect to a file via JDBC using serve 11 and the new drivers from FileMaker..

Notes:

- yes, jdbc is turned on

- yes, jdbc access is enabled on the account

- yes, I was able to connect via jdbc using datadirect sequelink drivers on fms 10 but not 11.

- i tried connecting locally on the server as well, to rule out network problems, with the same result

- i tried connecting against a different server as well, or different files too to rule out server/installation/files problem
