Providing details (what you did, what didn't work, etc) is generally useful to get good answers. Here are some things to check though:

• make sure derbyclient.jar is on the classpath
• make sure you are using org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver as driver class
• make sure the URL follows the following format jdbc:derby://<host>:<port>/<database>
• make sure the network server has been started(!)
