Since I added the rule to specifically allow packets, it’s that rule that shows in the log as blocking it. The strange thing is that I’m running net firewall on the sql server also, and it is not blocking the packets out. Only the server receiving the packets is blocking it inbound. Also we seem to have narrowed it down to one application. There are other processes running on the box pulling information from the sql server that never get any packets blocked. It’s a very strange problem.
