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.

Show us your tsql command and the freetds.conf entry.  You're trying to
connect to port 4000, which probably isn't the port your Microsoft
server is listening to.  

If you use "-S servername", you're referring to a freetds.conf entry.
If you use "-H hostname -p port", you're not.  The -p option is ignored
when used with -S.
