Unable to start sql service when TCP/IP is enabled under SSCM - SS Network Configuration

in the Console , SQL Server Configuration Manager

I get error 10048 when start sql service

and this in event history:

The SQL server service terminated with server-specific error. Only one usage of each socket (protcol/network address/port) is normall permitted. Any idea howto fix this ? Port set is the default 1433... If this is turned off, which is default of course, SQL service starts like a champ. I have done this config many times on other servers with no problem.


Figured it out. Right clicking the TCP/IP option there is an option to set 'Listeners' to all. Which is default, I changed this 'no', and it started so something must be up with my interfaces...


Sounds like there's something else already running on TCP port 1433. Stop the SQL Server. Then from a command prompt run

netstat -a -b

This will show you all the TCP ports which are in use and the name of the application which is using it. Find the application which is using TCP port 1433 and change that application to use a different port number.
