I think the next thing you want to check is whether you can connect from
the same machine directly.  Try "telnet 192.168.153.127 1433" and see
what happens.  If your server is listening on a different port, you need
to add this information to the URL [1].  If your server isn't listening
on TCP/IP at all, then the driver hasn't got a chance.

[1] e.g., "jdbc:freetds:sqlserver://192.168.153.127:12345/daiwa;tds=7.0"
