The point of the telnet command is to ensure that it is possible for 
_anything_ to connect via tcp/ip to your instance of SQL Server. 
Connection refused says that it is impossible for anything, not just 
FreeTDS to connect via tcp/ip.  Two likely culprits are a firewall 
blocking access and SQL Server not listening for tcp/ip connections at 
all.  At the very least before using FreeTDS to connect, you need to 
reconfigure 192.168.1.82 until you can connect via telnet to port 1433. 
  Once you can connect via tcp/ip, then you can move onto testing your 
FreeTDS software/configuration.

When you say "tried connecting", does that mean you tried connecting via 
tcp/ip or connected via another method?
