sql server connect: Dear all

We have one live server. We are not able to connect to the server neigther thru Enterprize manager nor thru Query Analyser.

This is a strange issue we are facing. This server is installed 3 months back. We did not face this issue till now

Actually, the port 1433 is enabled when we install SQL server 2000 on any system. But now if i execute

telnet <IP Address> 143

It is giving the following error
Could not open connection to the host, on port 1433: Connect faile

Any body please help us. Our live work and transactions are stopped. Please help us

Check the SQL Server errorlog to see what port the
instance is currently listening on. There should be a line
near the top of the errorlog similar to the following:

2004-01-13 17:00:11.26 server SQL server listening on
127.25.109.244:1433

That last number is your TCP socket port.

There should also be a line similar to the following:

2004-01-13 17:00:11.26 server SQL server listening on TCP,
Shared Memory, Named Pipes.

This indicates what net libraries the server instance is
listening on.
