Servername: This is the old "server" specification. This refers to a
freetds.conf servername, not a hostname as known to DNS. If you want to
use freetds.conf-less configuration, use Server instead.

Above (in .odbc.ini) should be 

Servername = MyServer2000

UID is not used by FreeTDS. If you want to use domain logins the best
way is to use "DOMAIN\user" syntax for username (UID) and remove "try
domain login", "try server login" and "nt domain" options from
freetds.conf.

You can also configure your .odbc.ini in such way (freetds.conf-less
configuration)

[MyServer2000]
Driver          = TDS
Description     = Microsoft SQL Server
Trace           = No
Server          = 10.1.0.104
TDS_Version     = 8.0
Port            = 1433
Database        = BN_MANIFESTS
