How to configure udp port in sql ?

Hi friends,
I want to open/publish my sql server 2000 into internet,
for security reason, many articles said that I must close
TCP port 1433 and UDP 1434.
My questions are :
I can change TCP port with others port, how can I change
udp port ?
Thanks.You can't , however if you just have a default instance, it won't make any
difference to block it. If using named instances then you would have to
supply the port when connecting or use an alias set up in the client network
utility (on the client attempting to connect)

|||You don't want to open UDP 1434. If the server is behind ISA, set the
server to use a Fixed port. The clients will have to know the port in
order to connect.

only use this for domain level applications to enumerate what ports SQL
Named Instances are listening on. The server listen-on port can be changed
using the Server Network Utility.
