Hi

I installed the deb packages for establishing a DBD::Sybase connection using 
freetds.
Package: freetds-dev Version: 0.61-5
Package: libdbd-sybase-perl Version: 1.00-1

I am trying to connect to windows XP running MSSQL7.

When trying to connect to the sybase hosted server with:

I get:
$dbh = 
DBI->connect("dbi:Sybase:server=192.138.151.39:4444;interface=/etc/freetds/freetds.conf",
 "", "");
src/tds/login.c: tds_connect: 192.138.151.39:4444: No route to host

and when I try to contact my local SQLSERVER with:
$dbh = 
DBI->connect("dbi:Sybase:server=192.161.1.4;database=enterprise;interface=/etc/freetds/freetds.conf",
 "su", "whatever");

I can see some ip activity:
[eric@apple ~] 13 $ tcpdump port 1433
tcpdump: listening on eth0                                                    
                                                                              
                                                        04:10:52.414756

<mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 4036157 0,nop,wscale 0> (DF)

but get this:
src/tds/login.c: tds_connect: 192.161.1.4:1433: Connection timed out
DBI 
connect('server=192.161.1.4;database=enterprise;interface=/etc/freetds/freetds.conf','su',...)
 failed: OpenClient message: LAYER = (0) ORIGIN = (0) SEVERITY = (78) NUMBER 
= (41)
Message String: Server is unavailable or does not exist.

Only configuration I have made is the following staza in 
/etc/freetds/freetds.conf FWIW:
[MyServer70]
   host = 192.168.1.4
   port = 1433
   tds version = 7.0

please help clear some of the smoke...

Thanks
