Where are you querying these two agents from?
The same box that the agent is running on?
Or some other system on the network?  What O/S is this running?

This sounds suspiciously like firewall or iptables-style settings on the
*client* side - the agent is sending back a response, but the client
machine is refusing to accept it.

Check any firewall-style settings on this client system.
