running sql on a different port

sql 2k, sp3a
For security reasons, I changed sql to run on a different port. I'm able to
get into Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer just fine. However, when I
try to go into Object Manager in QA, I get a message that the connection has
been broken. It never allows me to see the objects. Is this a bug? Is
there a workaround?
As long as sql is running on port 1433 I can get into the object manager
just fine.
Thanks, Andrehave you tried creating an alias in client network utility and using the
alias to connect to the server?

'.'. Connecting to the alias was the trick. Thanks!
