Hellow monks

i'm getting a similar problem with SQL Server ( I'm on windows )

use DBI;

my $user = "rodrigo";
my $pass = "123456";
my $server = "localhost\\WHATSUP:3477";
my $database_name = "equip";

my $DSN = "driver={SQL Server};server=$server;database=$database_name;
+uid=$user;pwd=$pass"; 
my $DBH = DBI->connect("DBI:ODBC:$DSN") or die "Couldn't open database
+: $DBI::errstr\n";

But i'm getting the following error: 
DBI connect('driver={SQL Server};server=localhost\WHATSUP:3477;databas
+e=equip;uid=rodrigo;pwd=123456','',...) failed: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL 
+Server Driver][DBNETLIB]Invalid connection. (SQL-08001) [st
ate was 08001 now 01000]
