Perhaps your problem is in DNS...
Server is registered in DNS or only or wins?
Login to linux box and ping your machine. If it not resolve name you should
add host to hosts file or use samba to resolve wins names.
Every instance have a different tcp/ip port (tcp/ip MUST be enable in order
to use FreeTDS).
To discover port you can try a connection from a windows machine and then
doing "netstat -an" command (you should see a port in TIME WAIT state to
your server).
