| Hi,I have read that one should block access to a server if it has sqlserver running on it. How can I block the ports? I believe its port 1433? |

| You do that on the firewall.Port 1433 is the standard port for sql server, you can check the port in the SQL Server Network Utility, under TCP/IP properties.In what environment is your sql-server running?At home?, on a LAN?, fronting the internet?www.sqlsecurity.com has some good information on security. rockmoose |

| You might like to move SQL server to a different port number - particularly a much higher number. Most of the port scanners are only looking for 1433, and a few are just looking for low numbered ports ....Not a replacement for a proper security policy, but it can help deter the casual hack/virus/etc.Kristen |
