can any 1 plz correct it??

TRy to create a simple JDBC program and fetch a Connection using :

DriverManager.getConnection("url","userid","password");

Also look up the documentation for the driver to see if the URL format is correct.

I think the URL format should be:

jdbc:sqlserver://CHANURA:1433/Navas/Cursor
