The good

I would understand this if all traffic failed or if all traffic succeeded.
However, this problem where some traffic succeeds and some fails is rather confusing.
I feel that I am failing to grasp a basic concept of routing, perhaps.
What can be causing this behavior of some traffic succeeding but some failing?
In Summary:
[ul]Thanks in advance for your time.

This has been solved. Despite not changing cable modems, the ISP switches IP's on us every time a router is swapped out. As a result, some stray IP restrictions (to external SQL, RDP, and FTP sources) were preventing access.
So, somebody would have eventually asked the question, "Just how sure are you that outbound access to FTP, RDP, and FTP is not working. I am almost certain that it should be working. Please triple check".
My answer would have been, "Oops, Now I feel quite stupid to not realize this as a possibility, I failed to check for changing ISP-provided IP address".
So, the morale of the story is, if most of your ports (outbound) are working under a default setup, then ALL ports are probably working, even if a few don't seem to be working due to external reasons (such as IP-restrictions on external servers that need updated). Double and triple check that the access to the external resources is indeed broken.
