A couple of things to try:
(1) Try defining a TDSDUMP file before the connection attempt and see if it provides
any hints as to why it failed. I normally do this via:
putenv("TDSDUMP=/tmp/tdsdump");
before the connection attempt. Make sure to remove this after you're done testing,
this file can get very big very quickly.
(2) Install Sqsh (http://www.sqsh.org/) and see if you can connect with it. If not,
it may give you more information on the connection failure than PHP does (just
guessing here)...
