I have SpiceWorks 4.7, installed and added the sql monitor extension to monitor our SQL servers. It does identify our sql servers correctly, but when I put the login information in it can't authenticate, with the following error message.

Authentication failed. Check the login and password, and ensure that the server is configured for remote connections. 

I get the same result trying to use windows authentication.

WE do use an alternate port# could this be the problem?
