Thanks for your comment jimpen. Connection string shown is just an example of how ours is formatted.
Both my old and new servers run SQL Server 2005 on port 58646 for reasons of security through obscurity.
According to the SQL Server Configuration Manager, SQL Server Browser is stopped, with Start Mode set to Disabled

Was the old SQL Server using the 58646 port? Why?
Is the SQL Server Browser Service up and running?
Have you changed the port on the new server?
And is the UID and PWD real in the connection string? If so please click on the Request Attention link and ask to have them masked.
