Answer 1

If you can start the Sql Server Configuration Manager > SQL Server Network Configuration > Your instance > TCP/IP > Properties

Answer 2

If you have run "netstat -a -b -n" (from an elevated command prompt) and you don't see "sqlservr.exe" at all then either your SQL Server service is not running or its TCP/IP network library is disabled.

Run SQL Server Configuration Manager (Start | All Programs | Microsoft SQL Server 2008 | Configuration Tools).

Navigate to SQL Server Services. In the right-hand pane look for SQL Server (). Is it stopped? If so, start it.

Navigate to SQL Server Network Configuration (or SQL Server Network Configuration (32-bit) as appropriate) then Protocols for . In the right-hand pane look for "TCP/IP". Is it disabled? If so, enable it, then restart the SQL Server service.

Note that he Instance ID will be MSSQLSERVER for the default instance.

Please also note that you don't have to enable the TCP/IP network library to connect a client to the service. Clients can also connect through the Shared Memory network library (if the client is on the same machine) or the Named Pipes network library.

Try this:

USE master
GO
xp_readerrorlog 0, 1, N'Server is listening on' 
GO

Answer 4

This is another script that I use:

-- Find Database Port script by Jim Pierce  09/05/2018

USE [master]
GO

DECLARE @DynamicportNo NVARCHAR(10);
DECLARE @StaticportNo NVARCHAR(10);
DECLARE @ConnectionportNo INT;

-- Look at the port for the current connection
SELECT @ConnectionportNo = [local_tcp_port]
 FROM sys.dm_exec_connections
    WHERE session_id = @@spid;

-- Look for the port being used in the server's registry
EXEC xp_instance_regread @rootkey = 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE'
                        ,@key =
                         'Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\Tcp\IpAll'
                        ,@value_name = 'TcpDynamicPorts'
                        ,@value = @DynamicportNo OUTPUT

EXEC xp_instance_regread @rootkey = 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE'
                        ,@key =
                         'Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\Tcp\IpAll'
                        ,@value_name = 'TcpPort'
                        ,@value = @StaticportNo OUTPUT

SELECT [PortsUsedByThisConnection] = @ConnectionportNo
      ,[ServerStaticPortNumber] = @StaticportNo
      ,[ServerDynamicPortNumber] = @DynamicportNo
GO

Answer 5

This is the one that works for me:

SELECT DISTINCT 
    local_tcp_port 
FROM sys.dm_exec_connections 
WHERE local_tcp_port IS NOT NULL 

Answer 6

Maybe it's not using TCP/IP

Have a look at the SQL Server Configuration Manager to see what protocols it's using.
