changed listening port - cant connect Mangement Studio ?

Hi,
I have "SQL 2005 express edition" running on 2003 standard (R2).
I used the "SQL Server Configuration Manager" to changed the listening port
from 1433 to 1722.
I do this by following these instructions:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177440.aspx
Under "Protocols for MSSQLSERVER"
TCP/IP
IP1 = 1722
IP2 = 1722
IPALL = 1722
(dynamic ports are blank)
Under "SQL Native Client Configuration"
TCP/IP = 1722
Internally from an other machine i can run the following from a cmd prompt
"telnet 192.168.2.6 1722" and i get a connection.
When running "SQL Server Management Studio Express" however i now cannot
connect. I enter 192.168.2.6:1722 as the connection IP and it times out with
the following:
"Cannot connect ... an error has occurred ... maybe caused by the fact
that under default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connection".
This is a incorrect as it works on 1433 fine. (also tried connection
Management Studio as 192.168.2.6 1722 (i.e a space between ip and port)
but no banana.
Thank for any help

Use a comma in Management Studio, like this: 192.168.2.6,1722
