Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm installing SQL Server 2014 on Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise.<br />
<br />
When at the &quot;Install Rules&quot; part of Setup, it warns on Windows Firewall. (see attachment)<br />
<br />
Which ports do I open? I don't see a straight forward answer to this anywhere, only pages of &quot;what if&quot; and different scripts.<br />
<br />
I've tried opening 1433 &amp;&nbsp;1434, but the warning remains.<br />
<br />
Many thanks.<br />

Hi,

I'm installing SQL Server 2014 on Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise.

When at the "Install Rules" part of Setup, it warns on Windows Firewall. (see attachment)

Which ports do I open? I don't see a straight forward answer to this anywhere, only pages of "what if" and different scripts.

I've tried opening 1433 & 1434, but the warning remains.

Many thanks.

SQL Server 2014 ports

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls
