|  fails to this point.  I can ping all the boxes without trouble.
|  I've tried Sybperl and DBD::Sybase
|  
|  It's very fustrating.

|  If anyone has had expereince, I would apreciate some off list advise.


Microsoft is a notorious company for being *almost* compatible. If you
want to connect natively, you need to be in a MS environemnt (so no
Sybase).
Your alternative is ODBC, or perhaps even JDBC.
