Check the documentation for myssql_connect and be sure that you're not supposed to also provide a port number (in your case 1433) along with the hostname argument. IIRC you can tag it after the hostname/ip using a colon (e.g. myhostname:1433). Other than that it seems more like a network connectivity issue. This is OT for this list but if it was my problem I'd ensure there aren't any packet filters between my web server and db hosts. Since MSSql has to run on windows I'd start there and ensure inbound connects to TCP 1433 are allowed. You're using private address space (192.168.x.x). Are BOTH servers on the same subnet?
