Perhaps you have a different version of PHP than me...but nowhere in the php.ini file have I had to put in a port number for a MSSQL Server. That seems like a problem since PHP could need to connect to any number of SQL Servers with any port number. >From your PHP server, open a command prompt and ping your SQL server. Try pinging by IP address and by server name. See if you get a response from both. NOTE: Are you running PHP and MSSQL Server on the same box?
