Connecting SQL Server Instance

  • When connecting to my SQL Server box remotely through Management Studio, I am forced to enter the Server name and port number. If i dont enter the port number, i don't connect. When i specify the port ,i do connect.

    Example: Servername,PortNumber

    Other information:

    - SQL Browser is running

    -Static port configuration is enabled on the box i am connecting to

    -Anti virus disabled.

    Why can't i just connect by supplying the server name without having to also include the port number?. Thanks for your suggestion/solutions

  • Well, i figured out the solution. Just created an alias on the client server and i am good to go
