SQL Listening

  • When SQL Server 2000 sp3 ( on Windows 2000 Server ) starts, the Server error log reports the following:

    SQL Server listening on nn.n.n.n:1433

    SQL Server listening on nnn.nn.nn.nnn:1433

    SQL Server listening on nn.nn.nn.nn:1433

    The last entry is the IP address of the actual server. What do the other "listenings" mean?

     

  • This was removed by the editor as SPAM

  • Listening on 127.0.0.1 means localhost, and that's not a cause for concern.

    Is the computer multi-homed? Does it have more than 1 IP address configured? You can check this by running ipconfig from the command line (or through xp_cmdshell).
