SQL-Server-2012

I am using Delphi XE7. I have recently completed a Client Application, which is a Multi Device Application in delphi, and I have created a DataSnap REST Server Application that communicates directly to SQL Server 2012. The DataSnap App is well able to read data from SQL (as it should).

Now I would like to connect the Client App to the DataSnap App via the FireDAC Framework. Each time I enter the required parameters and test the connection (while the server is running), it tells me "Socket Error #10061 Connection Failed".

Is there anything that I could be missing? I am using http protocol without authentication specifications.

Are You choose remote server? In XE7 You need to choose "remote server" when you adding a clientmoduleunit to Yours project. Choose "remote server" and as host name enter 127.0.0.1. Also choose a specific port like e.g. 3131 Other ports may be used by system, and the syystem firewall can block them for other applications
