When trying to make a connection with the dbconnect app using the "MS-SQL Server Using MS Generic Driver" drive, it is giving an error and requesting port 6666, but in the connection  string I use port 1433. Does anyone know why this change is happening and how? How do I solve this?
Note: already has a firewall rule created for port 1433

Connection String

jdbc:sqlserver://myhost.database.windows.net:1433;databaseName=mydb;selectMethod=cursor;encrypt=false

Error:
Connection failure reason: The TCP/IP connection to the host myhost.database.windows.net, port 6666 has failed. Error: "connect timed out. Verify the connection properties. Make sure that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host and accepting TCP/IP connections at the port. Make sure that TCP connections to the port are not blocked by a firewall.". Diagnosis: Either the database is unavailable, or the specified host/port is incorrect, or you are blocked by a firewall Troubleshooting recommendation: Make sure the database is running on the server and you or the database are not blocked by a firewall.
