As far as I know only a single TCP/IP-connection is used for all AgentX
traffic. There must be something special about your firewall configuration.
One way to see what happens is to run the AgentX subagent on a different PC
than the AgentX master and to analyze the traffic between subagent and
master agent with Wireshark.

Note: I have just tested the AgentX example from the Net-SNMP wiki, and
after having added the line below (the same line you had already mentioned)
it runs fine against Net-SNMP 5.4.2.1. I haven't tried any later Net-SNMP
version yet, but I do not see any reason why the example wouldn't work with
later versions.

netsnmp_ds_set_string(NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID, NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_X_SOCKET,
"localhost:705");
