Have you checked that the Sybase server actually listens on the
192.168.1.12 interface, and not on 127.0.0.1?

Various linux distros are infamous for putting the hostname *and*
localhost in /etc/hosts on the same line (i.e. 127.0.0.1).

Run netstat -a -n | grep 4100 to check...

(been bitten by that one myself!)
