So,

Browser service needed:

1. If connecting using only the instance name with a non-standard port

2. If connecting to an instance that uses dynamic ports, such as a named instance because it is configured to use dynamic ports initially when installed.

Browser service not needed

1. If connected to an instance using standard port 1433?

2. If using the IP address and the port number of the sql server instance.

Is #1 in both categories above correct? If not, can you please correct me?

Thanks,

Alan.
