how does port number get allocated

  • I installed a new SQL Server 2005 on a 2 node cluster which had 1 instance.

    The existing instance has port number as 1433.

    The new instance has a port number 51890.

    AM sure, any SQL Server installation would get installed with 1433 as the port.

    Can we conclude that somebody manually changed the port number to 51890?

  • Is the existing instance a default instance?

    Is the new instance a named instance?

  • You are right about both

    Old instance - yes default

    New instance - yes named

    Is the existing instance a default instance?

    Is the new instance a named instance?

    suresh what r u suspecting, is it another sql instance is running?

    if it has another instance will it take a ramdom number which is free?
