Restrict Port Security

I'm going to be installing a sql server behind a firewall. I'd appreciate
any best practice advice on changing the default port number and also wanted
to know if there was a way to secure a sql server by granting access only to
specific IP addresses?
Hi Scott,
Really best practice is changing the default port number of the SQL Server.
But granting access to specific IP addresses only machine 1 to machine 2 or
ip address.
