   Hi,   
   I've searched for an answer for hours so this newsgruoup is my last chance.   
      
   A Java Application uses a  JDBC driver without port specification.   
   Something like   
      
   jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;instanceName=instance1 [..]   
      
   instance1 is a named instance in a two-nodes cluster active-active with   
   a different port than default, for example 3234.   
   In this case the last connection string dosn't work, BUT if I try   
   something like   
      
   jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;instanceName=instance1:3234 it works.   
      
   Now, I don't understand. Sql Server Browser is up and running, and   
   I know that it have to provide these informations like port number and   
   istance name. So,  what about this behaviour ? Do I really need port   
   number anyway ?   
      
   Thanks in advance for your help   
      
   Bye
