I'm trying to use FreeTDS with the DBD::Sybase libraries to connect from a Linux machine (RedHat 6.2 with the 2.4.0 kernel) to an NT box running MS SQL 7 with SP3. I've installed FreeTDS and added the SQL server to the interphaces file. When I try to execute the program, I'm getting an error: "connect: Network is unreachable". I can ping the DB server so it's not a network problem. I suspect it has something to do with my configuration, but I'm new to the DBI, as well as FreeTDS. Any ideas? This may seem like an elementary question, but this is new territory for me. Thanks.
