Changing default listening port

Hi,
I need to change the default listening port on sql server from 1433 to
another port. The server is being connected to by multiple web sites some
using DSN connections and others not and also via a number of connections
using Enterprise Manager. I'm worried that if I change the port, the
websites will not be able to connect. Can anyone give me some advice on what
will need to be changed to make this update smooth.
Many thanks,
Luke.You can create an alias on the client using "Client Network Utility" and the
re specify the port
number. Or, you can specify the port number in the server name/connection st
ring. From memory, you
do like SERVERNAME;portnumber, I.e.:
MYSERVER;1067
