title: Static Port Assignment in SQL Server 2008 Does not save
body: <p>I have two named instances of SQL Server 2008 and am trying to set static ports for each instance.  I open the SQL Server Configuration Manager _> expand "SQL Server Network Configuration" -> click the instance I want to change -> and select TCP/IP.</p>
  
  <p>From here any configuration changes that I make are not persisted after I hit OK.  I've tried setting the "TCP Dynamic Ports" option to blank, and setting my desired port # under the "TCP Port" option under the IPALL section but each time when I return to the configuration screen the changes no longer appear.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried bouncing the service and that doesn't help either.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any thoughts as to what is going on here?</p>
