Does the firewall on the SQL Server allow connections on port 1434 from the machine with TDS on it?

Hello,

I'm using FreeTDS 0.82 to try to connect to MSSQL databases from Linux
with TDS version 8.0 .

This works fine if I specify the port number, but not if I specify the
instance name.

Doing an strace on tsql shows that it is send a datagram request to
port 1434 as documented, but does not receive a reply.

My database adminstrator thinks this must be some kind of problem with
the MSSQL browser service, but does not know the answer yet. I was
wandering if any orher FreeTDS users had encountered this problem.
