Again, I don't have any working experience with JS so FWIW ...

1 - verify SYB_JSAGENT was added (sp_addserver) properly; check results of
'sp_helpserver SYB_JSAGENT'

2 - verify SYB_JSAGENT's entry in the interfaces file; make sure it has
been configured on its own port #; make sure the ASE and SYB_JSAGENT are
accessing the same interfaces file (if using different interfaces files
make sure they are the same in terms of the definitions for the ASE and
SYB_JSAGENT)

3 - contact Sybase TS
