Hi,

Normally, the communication would start on port 1433. I am sure SQL would be like a webserver and once communication is  established it will move to a dynamic port.  In setting up the ODBC connector you would need to input the login information to access the SQL server in another domain.

Hi,

This should be the default SQL port of 1433.

HI,

The ODBC connector are not Qlik's and so this would be a question for Microsoft.  However, I don't think you can do that. The SQL server answers (I think) only on one port to start the communication and then hands it off to a dynamic port.

(here the situation is we have to access the data via internet , Microsoft automatically assigns dynamic port as you said.we are trying to open the specific port in firewall so that to communicate  )
