In my case SELinux (I am using CentOS) was blocking the connection when done from Apache web server in the linux box to the sql server in the windows box. To allow the connection you have two options:

1. Disable SELinux

2. As root or sudo run the two commands:

setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1

setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect_db 1

To check if SELinux is blocking your network and DB connections run this command:

getsebool -a | grep httpd_can_network_connect

If the results are:

httpd_can_network_connect --> on

httpd_can_network_connect_db --> on

You are good, if the are off then run the first commands in this answer.
