How to find the port for MS SQL Server 2008?

Question

I am running MS SQL Server 2008 on my local machine. I know that the default port is 1433 but some how it is not listening at this port. The SQL is an Express edition.

Answer 1

You could also look with a

netstat -abn

It gives the ports with the corresponding application that keeps them open.

Edit: or TCPView.
