cant start sql 2000 on port 1433

[Joseph]

for some reason i dont get any errors, but i believe that my server is
not running on port 1433. the tcpip protocol is selected in the
network configuration utility as well as name piper. the port
selected is 1433. but when i telnet to 1433 i get the same errors as i
would if i telnet to a non existant port. i also tried nbstat with no
luck. what else can i do? thanks

Are you using MSDE, by any chance? Network access is disabled by default
from SP3 onwards:

If that doesn't help, then this article covers other possibilities:
