I have a web application I have built that calls an external sql server database, calls UPS via HTTP for shipping quotes and calls a payment processor via HTTP. When I run the web application from inside Visual Studio 2005 using the visual studio localhost, the application runs fine. When I publish the web application to the the IIS on the same computer, when I run the web application from there I can't access the external database, UPS or the payment processor.
The error I recieve for the external database call is that the SQL Server database does not allow remote connections, and the UPS call says it can't connect to the remote server.
I few months ago when I first had this problem, I found that if I un-installed the ISA Firewall Client from my machine, everything worked fine. But all of the sudden today, I could not access the external database, or even Remote desktop to the database server. So I re-installed the ISA 2004 Firewall client on my machine and I am back to square one, it seems I can access anything external ONLY when the web app is when published from IIS and it still works fine from within Visual Studio.

I am experiencing the exact same problem, but have a little more information to add to the mix, hopefully someone will have an idea or some experience that might help.
I have noticed that rather than using TCP:1433 (MS SQL) for the connection, the firewall clients try to connect to the SQL server on TCP:445 and TCP:139 (Windows file sharing ports). The connections are denied by the default rule (Result Code: 0xc0004000d FWX_E_POLICY_RULES_DENIED)
Sadly, disabling the Firewall Client isn't enough, so even if we could figure out how to get the client to disable itself for the "aspnet_wp" application, I doubt it would make a difference.
Stopping the Firewall Service does work however, except this isn't a useful work-around.
I can confirm that once the firewall client service is stopped, the ISA server 'sees' proper SQL traffic on TCP:1433 and the correct rule is used to allow the traffic.
We have verified that this is a Firewall Client issue using a packet capture from the affected client. When the service is running, the box only attempts to use TCP:445 and TCP:139. No SQL traffic is ever sent by the client.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated, somehow I doubt I'll get very far with MS Tech Support for ISA (previous experience of the Indian call centres hasn't been great).
