In the log files, I see where it reports that both servers are listening but I don't see it in the netstat -an return. I am not sure what port the second instance is using but I believe the first instance should be using 1433 since I did not alter that during the installation.
I am confused by the SQL Service Manager showing the servers running yet the netstat -an shows that they are not listening, what do I need to do to get the servers listening?
Thanks again for your assistance, I appreciate it. ![]()
