Enabling Ports Manually

To enable ports initially we have to determine wether the ports are

dynamic or static to do his follow this procedure...

A)How to determine if you are using a static or a dynamic port

If you are not sure if you are using a dynamic port, follow these

steps:1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. In the Run dialog box, type regedit, and then click OK. This

will start Registry Editor.

3. Locate the HKLM/Software/Microsoft/MSSQLServer/MSSQLServer/

SuperSocketNetLib/Tcp/TcpDynamicPorts registry key. Use this key to

determine if dynamic ports are enabled. If it lists a numeric value,

that value is the last dynamic port value that was used by SQL

Server. If it is blank, you are using a static TCP port.

4. Quit Registry Editor.

B)How to enable TCP/IP with dynamic ports

If you are using dynamic ports, you must create an exception for the

SQL Server program in Windows Firewall.

For more information about how to create an exception for the SQL

Server program in Windows Firewall, click the following article

C)How to enable TCP/IP with a static port

To enable TCP/IP connectivity for SQL Server listening on a static

port, you must first know the number of the port that SQL Server is

using. To find the port, you can either use the Server Network

Utility or use the Regkey method.

Use the Server Network Utility to find the port that SQL Server is

using

Note This method works for either a default instance or for a named

instance.1. If you are using the Server Network Utility, click

Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server, and then

click Server Network Utility. If you are using MSDE or the command

line, click Start, and then click Run. In the Run dialog box, type

svrnetcn.exe, and then click OK.

2. In the Server Network Utility dialog box, you will see a list

of the disabled protocols and a list of the enabled protocols on the

General tab.

3. In the Instances on this server list box, select the instance

that you want to examine.

4. Click to select the protocol that you want to find the port

number for, and then click the Properties button.

5. Make a note of the port number.
