Hi all,

I'm having some trouble with connecting to SQL server instance lately
without adding a port number. I used to be able to always connect to
instance without having to input SQLSERVER,portnumber. However now
this is not the case. I doing this through an ADO connection object,
and creating the connection string. Does anyone know if there was a
recent Microsoft update or patch that would've cause this to stop
allowing me to connect to a SQL instance without having to put in the
port information? Thanks.
