I have a new SQL Server installation that is running on the default port
(1433) that I cannot connect to.  I can connect using TSQL that comes
with FreeTDS 0.62.4 and I can connect to another installation of SQL
Server just fine.  I keep getting this error:

src/tds/login.c: tds_connect: 192.168.0.1:4000: Connection refused
DBI connect('server=servername','loginid',...) failed: (no error string)
at ./check_mssql line 99
error: OpenClient message: LAYER = (0) ORIGIN = (0) SEVERITY = (78)
NUMBER = (41)
Server servername, database
Message String: Server is unavailable or does not exist.

It works to one MSSQL 2000 and not to another and TSQL works to both. I
re-compiled FreeTDS and removed the freetds.conf file and it re-compiled
with a fresh one.  The server that works isn't even in the freetds.conf
file but works.  Doesn't the server have to be configured in that file
in order to connect?
