I can't connect to sqlserver 12 server

changeLogFile:db.changelog-1.0.xml
url:jdbc:sqlserver://PCFEDERICOROSSI:1433;instanceName=MSSQLSERVER;database=Liquibase;
username:frossi
password:frossi
driver:com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
classpath:mssql-jdbc-7.4.1.jre8.jar

This is the content of the liquibase.properties file

Starting Liquibase at Mon, 07 Sep 2020 09:56:29 CLST (version 3.10.2 #22 built at Mon Jul 27 04:21:02 UTC 2020)
Unexpected error running Liquibase: liquibase.exception.DatabaseException: liquibase.exception.DatabaseException: Connection could not be created to jdbc:sqlserver://PCFEDERICOROSSI:1433;instanceName=MSSQLSERVER;database=Liquibase; with driver com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver. The TCP/IP connection to the host PCFEDERICOROSSI, port 1433 has failed. Error: “Connect timed out. Verify the connection properties. Make sure that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host and accepting TCP/IP connections at the port. Make sure that TCP connections to the port are not blocked by a firewall.”.

This is the error message it gives me when I try it

I am taking my first steps in liquibase and I am not sure if I am missing something to configure or I have something left over, I am based on the documentation I was reading but I am not sure if it is because the version of the sql driver is not the correct one, check the antivirus and it would not be blocking the execution, if you could give me some clue where I should follow I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi, @afedericorossir,
Welcome to the forum!
Try to use the jdbc url without instanceName=MSSQLSERVER.

Make sure you have created the database “Liquibase”
