Emerald uses the SQL DB-LIB API. FOr named pipes, it uses the
SMB ports (137-139, although maybe not all of them) and for TCP/IP
it uses 1433.

If the Login Failed isn't returning immediately, you probably still
have a connectivity issue. Try connecting with isql_w and see if it
can talk to the DB. Also, try turning on debug mode to see more of
the SQL Statements. You might be getting an error of "can't find SQL
server" which Emerald is interpretting as a bad password.
