Perhaps you have a different version of PHP than me...but nowhere in the
php.ini file have I had to put in a port number for a MSSQL Server.

That seems like a problem since PHP could need to connect to any number of
SQL Servers with any port number.

>From your PHP server, open a command prompt and ping your SQL server.  Try
pinging by IP address and by server name.  See if you get a response from
both.

NOTE: Are you running PHP and MSSQL Server on the same box?
