Some information:

From my Vista x64 PC, I can create a ODBC DSN to the Amazon EC2 server 
and was able to connect successfully; at least, the ODBC test said it 
worked. Maybe we can replicate the settings in PHP and FreeTDS?

My SQL Server is not using Windows authentication, but a SQL Server 
username and password. I had to specify that in Vista's ODBC panel, as 
Windows auth is the default. The freetds.conf man page doesn't mention 
any such distinction; is this something I should specify in my connect 
string or freetds.conf?

There is an option to "dynamically determine port" or to specify the 
port (default is 1433 of course). Both options worked fine. So it's 
definitely not a firewall issue; my PC isn't on any allow list and 
Windows Firewall is turned off.

Does this provide any clues?
