Connecting to SQL-Azure with freeTDS error: Read from the server failed
===

I'm trying to a SQl-Azure database from ubuntu 12.04.

I've downloaded freeTDS-0.91 and compiled it with openssl and libiconf (for use with the tiny_tds gem).

When I try connect to the sql-azure db I get the following error:

    martinr@martinr-DT:~/code/psg-web$ tsql -U Username -P Password -H servername.database.windows.net -p 1433
    locale is "en_ZA.UTF-8"
    locale charset is "UTF-8"
    using default charset "UTF-8"
    Error 20004 (severity 9):
    	Read from the server failed
	OS error 104, "Connection reset by peer"
    Error 20002 (severity 9):
    	Adaptive Server connection failed
    There was a problem connecting to the server

I can't seem to find anything on what is causing this error, and how to resolve it.

I can connect to instances of ms-sqlserver on a windows-server machine in the office without any problems. 

Any help will be much appreciated.
