How to find out what port an instance use

I use MSDE 2000 and I want to connect over internet to the server. The
problem is that I use an instance and so the port is not 1433 as it applies
dynamically. How can I find out what port the instance use to listen? With
SQL Server I can use Server Network Utility. Does MSDE have a similar tool?
Can I check the port programmatically (I use VB.NET)?
Thanks.
Hello,
From Start -- Run -- Execute svrnetcn.exe
Thanks
