| Hi,I have SQL Server 2000 installed on my Windows XP (SP2) machine. I have the port set to 1433 (under Server Network Utility-->General-->TCP/IP). Here's the problem: when i runnetstat -anbnothing is running on port 1433. What i DO have is this: TCP 0.0.0.0:1036 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING [sqlservr.exe]Before I rebooted my computer it was running on port 1032. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? Thanks. |

| Did you restart sql? You can check sql server log to find out which port sql is listening on. |

| in the log it says "SQL server listening on Shared Memory, Named Pipes." and "SQL Server is ready for client connections". It doesn't say anything about TCP/IP although I have it enabled in the Server Network Utility. could this be the problem, and if so does anyone have a solution? |

| could 3a be better than sp4? I'm using sp4 and have your issue. Plus we have one with sp4 and it works. So either way I should be working too. |
