Hello,
we have 2 instances of mssql 2008

and configured the port of the 1st installation to be 3433. and the 2nd to be 3533

However, in the server configuration manager, it shows 3433.

MAIN PROBLEM is that we cant connect.

1. in the server configuration, remote connections is set to true
2. and both ports are open.

port 3433 works fine, but the 2nd installation doesnt allow remote connections

Any advice ?
Ehi

Restart SQL Server for the port change to take effect. Then if the clients still can't connect, try connecting via ServerName,PortNumber from the clients.

I have restarted

1. the server via windows rebooting
2. restarted services on server config utility
3. restarted via right clicking the db

I also checked via netstat at command prompt, and the ports are listening. But somewhere somehow its not working.

I checked the server aliases and its only port 3433 that appears there.

The first time, i configured the server it was ok, but after reformating, it doesnt seem to work.
