login issue

Hello guys,

          I am having problems with the connecttion.

I installed the latest freeTds on linux and i am trying to connect on 
Sql Server 2000 running on Win2003.   The connection works from windows 
eighter by using Windows autentification or Sql Server username/password
In the freetds.conf file   i modified the tds version:

[global]
       # TDS protocol version
       tds version = 8

Here is the message i get.

        > tsql -H pbobei -p 1604 -U pbobei
locale is "C"
locale charset is "ANSI_X3.4-1968"
Password:
Msg 20004, Level 9, State 0, Server OpenClient, Line 0
Read from SQL server failed.
Msg 20014, Level 9, State 0, Server OpenClient, Line 0
Login incorrect.
There was a problem connecting to the server

     I don't know very much about Sql Server and i am stuck with this 
issue.

what can i do to solve the problem ?
