I am trying to connect to a Microsoft SQL 2005 server which is not on port 1433. How do I indicate a different port number when connecting to the server using SQL Management Studio?

Another way is to set up an alias in Config Manager. Then simply type that alias name when you want to connect. This makes it much easier and is more preferable when you have to manage several servers/instances and/or servers on multiple ports and/or multiple protocols. Give them friendly names and it becomes much easier to remember them.

If you're connecting to a named instance and UDP is not available when connecting to it, then you may need to specify the protocol as well.
Example: tcp:192.168.1.21\SQL2K5,1443

On Windows plattform with server execute command:
netstat -a -b
look for sql server
processes and find port f.e 49198
Or easier. Connect with dbvisualizer, run netstat -a -b
find dbvis.exe process and get port.

Using the client manager affects all connections or sets a client machine specific alias.
Use the comma as above: this can be used in an app.config too
It's probably needed if you have firewalls between you and the server too...

You'll need the SQL Server Configuration Manager. Go to Sql Native Client Configuration, Select Client Protocols, Right Click on TCP/IP and set your default port there.
