Can the port change automatically?

We were having problems with our SQL Server so we rebooted
it and when it came back up it was listening on a
different port.
Does anyone have any idea on how this could happen?
Thanks

If you specify 0 for the port number in the server network
utility, it will use a dynamic port.
And named instances will use a dynamic port.

|||I understand the dynamic ports but we were using a static
port.
When I shut it down it was using 1245 as it should and was
specified in server newtwork. When I started it back up
it used 1246.
I didn't change it and there were no errors that 1245 was
in use.
