Re: msql connection problem
The database server can't be found or is ignoring the server.
If using mssql 2005 express go to control panel->admin tools->services. Make sure your mssql server does not have \express in it's name, if it does you need to reinstall it. There is a guide in my sig for that.
Also check the "surface area" config utility in the start menu if using express as remote connections are disabled by default and you need to switch them on. Again the guide explains this.

Re: msql connection problem
Are remote connections enabled in mssql (remember to restart the service after changing the setting)?
What is the name of your mssql server service in the services manager?
Can you ping windows from centos? It won't work unless you can. Make sure the windows firewall is off too.
