Please try compiling SQSH (http://www.voicenet.com/~gray/sqsh.html) to make 
sure your basic connectivity is working ok. It is a very useful tool for 
testing and debugging anyway, and I'd reccomend anyone using freetds or 
openclient to make it part of your toolkit.

>From the description it sounds like the ip address is incorrect (if the 
port where incorrect you'd get a connection refused instead).  You may try 
telneting directly into the SQL Server (like: telnet sqlhost 1433) and 
seeing if you get a good connection.  If so, it is probably a problem with 
the interfaces file (spaces are important in the interfaces file).

I just get a time-out error in my Apache error log when trying to connect
to our SQL 6.5 server.

I have setup the $SYBASE environment variable... I have added our server 
to
the interfaces file... it just times out.

Any ideas?
