Hello, looks to me like the DBSource is probably OK. There seems to be a trailing semicolon, but that should bot be a problem: dbi:FreeTDS:database=nocdb;host=icard.lanka.net;port=1433; My best guess is that there is something preventing the conenction between the Radiator host and icard.lanka.net. You should probably do some tcpdump to see if there is any TCP connection being established to port 1433 on icard.lanka.net. Perhaps there is a router or a filter in the way? Perhaps the Radiator host has some outgoing IP filtering. Perhaps there is some other netowork problem? Perhaps the MSSQL server is not listening on the standard port number of 1433? We have tested the FreeTDS connection to MSSQL 6.5 from Solaris but not from BSDI. Hope that helps.
