A quick pop up says "Establishing connection to url..."

Then the Navigator window opens up with 2 tables to import. I choose Table 0. After I click Load..., I get this dialog box:

Initialization of the data source failed.

Check the database server or contact ...
Click to expand...

I tried to Google that message but I didn't see anything reliable.

Perhaps you have an inkling what is going on?
