Windows firewall is off on both server and machine.
Change port to 24559.
I can connect to SQLSERVERNAME,24559.
I cannot connect to SQLSERVERNAME.
Sql browser is running under a user account that is a sysadmin and in the administrator group.

Reg looks fine.

This is driving me nuts. I have done this before why does it not work now?

Add a SQL alias for SQLSERVERNAME to direct it to port 24559.

Alias works also, but it would require touching over 2000 PCs

No, you don't need to create the alias at every client. Use SQL Configuration manager. Or it can be done in Active Directory.

It basically comes down to this SQL browser is working and returning the port. However SSMS does not recognized the port change. Also ADO 3.5 app using the SQL Server Native CLient 10 has the same problem. If I was using dynamic ports it works, but I have to put a hole in the firewall for this port, so dynamic is not a option. How can I get SQL to work with a static PORT and not have to specifically state that port, basically have the apps work with sql browser.
