Feb 22, 2022 at 21:19 comment added Technology Researcher Yes, I have managed to fix it, I changed the listening port in the configuration manager and then open up a firewall rule, and restarted my services. for some reason I wasn't able to connect but after a total vm restart I was able to connect. So I can only assume I forgot to restart a specific server accept I don't know which one, as I restarted all of the sql servicers except the agent services because they are disabled.

Feb 21, 2022 at 14:57 comment added Doug Deden Does this answer your question? Setting Up Named SQL Server Instance Network Connection
Feb 21, 2022 at 9:12 comment added Tibor Karaszi You don't use SSMS for this. You use the "SQL Server Configuration Manager" tool.
Feb 20, 2022 at 18:56 comment added Technology Researcher How do I set the port on the instance if ssms cannot connect to it locally?
Feb 20, 2022 at 18:56 comment added Technology Researcher ow, that's a good point, I didn't knew that. I was thinking about that too but rather weird that I was able to connect locally. I have connected to server with multiple instances withouth the need to enter a port in the connectionstring or via ssms

Feb 20, 2022 at 13:56 comment added Charlieface Each instance is on a separate port. You need to open the firewall to sqlservr.exe on any port.
Feb 20, 2022 at 11:09 comment added AlwaysLearning What TCP/IP port(s) is the NETWORKMONITOR instance listening on? Only one instance can be listening on tcp/1433 on any particular address, so if the SQLEXPRESS instance was already listening there then the new instance must be listening on a different port.
