Kevin, The port will be in the properties settings of the server in the SQL Server Management Studio. The default SQL Server port is 1433. 1521 is the default Oracle port..
So unless while installing MS-SQL server if you changed the default port of the SQL server to 1521, you should be using 1433. FYI, these are default database client ports for various databases.. MS-SQL - 1433 Oracle: 1521 DB2 - 50000 Sybase - 4100 Informix - 1526 Datadirect Sequelink Server - 19996 Hope this helps..

I can connect to SQL Server Management Studio with either Windows Auth or SQL Server Auth. It does not request or specify a port.

I finally decided to try the easier option, MSSQL 2008. I also upgraded my laptop to Windows 7. That all went fine. Then installed MSSQL, set all pre install tasks as per the Install-750.pdf - ARSystem database, ARAdmin user, roles, specified TCP port 1521 I have tried running installer under both Windows Auth and SQL Sever Auth, both give following error and I am unable to proceed. "TCP connection to the host acer using port number 1521 failed, possible causes Database services are not running/available Net config not configured correctly for TCPIP protocol IP or host name/port number is not correct" I can connect to SQL Server Management Studio with either Windows Auth or SQL Server Auth. So why is installer saying it can't connect to d/b instance?? Help, I'll have no more hair shortly or worse - give up! _attend WWRUG10 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Get a free e-mail account with Hotmail.
