No, no.  I guess I wasn't clear.

This is just a matter of getting your freetds.conf right.  You should test
it with tsql -- it works on Win32, yes? -- before you try PHP.  

Just put your dataserver's IP address (4 numbers, no port) on your "host"
line.  I think that's all you'll need to get yourself connected.  

(I knew it was a Windows box by the logfile name and the fact that
connect(2) showed a failure in the log without a valid error code.)

What you have here is pilot error.  But you can blame Windows if you like.
 Why not?  ;-)
