EPM FE partial communication with BE

[Nik]

Setup:
Database Server, App Server || Firewall || Web Front End

Almost everything else works except the following issue:

On the Home page, the Risks and Issues categories are displaying the
following error message:

"There is a problem establishing a connection with the Web server running
Windows SharePoint Services. Contact your system administrator."

WSS works fine, configuration is ok since runing the app on the App server
behaves normally. It looks to me like the problems is with the firewall, but
puzzling is the fact that the connection ot WSS works fine if clicking on
Risks or Issues on the top menu bar. Projects are displayed, and from there I
can drill down to risks/issues.

Any hint is welcome at this point. I've tried using proxycfg with no
success. I've checked all account permissions and it all looks good (it works
behind the firewall - app-db server only). It's definitely communication
issue.

Regards,
Nik
