I haven't started using freetds yet but I think you can use the tsql utility 
to see if you can actually connect to SQL Server. Also check your 
configuration file freetds.conf if your sql server has correct name etc. I am 
far from being called an expert in freetds, so maybe someone else knows 
better...
