I have been trying to setup Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 on my Windows XP installation in Parallels desktop VM on my iMac.
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get 1433 visible.
SQL Server Browser is running as NetworkService
The server is running, with TCP/IP enabled, and appears to be listening on port 1433. IPAll TCP port set to 1433 and TCP Dynamic Ports left blank.
I have configured parallels preferences to direct port 1433 to my Parallels IP 10.211.55.3
I have configured my router to allow incoming and outgoing connections on 1433 with port forwarding set to my mac IP 192.178.1.72
When I try to see if the port is open, using canyouseeme.org port 1433 does not work.
When I run 'netstat -an' with cmd.exe it is showing TCP / 0.0.0.1433 (local) / 0.0.0.0 (foreign) / LISTENING
Cannot get it to work!
If I set the port to 2100 it seems to be visible though... Cannot figure it out! Is there a setting I'm missing?
