*Q: SQL Server resides on a remote host (a different machine) and I can't connect to it from mine.*
A: Please ensure you have enabled TCP access using **SQL Server Configuration Manager** and [opened firewall ports](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175043.aspx).

*Q: Using FreeTDS I can't connect to my SQL Server database. An error in PHP says the server doesn't exist*
A: Make sure you've got an entry in **/etc/freetds/freetds.conf** (or wheverever it's installed) that points to your server. For example:
