Strange issues connecting new clients to ESET Protect

I am having some trouble with a couple of new client devices when trying to connect them to an existing OU in Protect. I created a new agent script, using a valid ESET PROTECT certificate, install it on the endpoint but it will not connect. Screenshot below.

I have another new endpoint on the same OU that has an agent that connects, but any task to push EES install fails. I tried to manually install EES as admin and that fails too "MSI.1923". Software install log attached.

Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? I rebooted the VM but it did not help. I can ping my hostname externally and see that 2222 is open, existing endpoints all seem to be connecting ok. I just downloaded another agent and installed on a VM and it the agent is connecting ok, all these devices are currently on the same LAN.

One other thing I noticed which was strange, I set up a new software install task, but today that task is missing from the Protect server.

Looks like something is blocking the communication between the agent and the ESET PROTECT server:

Error: Replication connection problem: Response for request of type DeviceSessionTokenRequest (request id: 13) was not received in time

Aligned pcap logs from the client and server will be needed besides the standard trace log. Please raise a support ticket if you are not aware of anything in your network that might be blocking the communication.

Update: I installed the same agent to a VM on the same LAN, agent connected fine and software install task pushed successfully. I had already tried the Eset removal tool on the system where the agent will not connect and then installed fresh but same issue.

Thanks, that client was on my public WiFi, I moved it to my private LAN and now the agent has connected so I guess some of my filtering on the public network interfered with the agent connection.

Do you know why my software install task disappears? All my existing tasks are present, but I add a new task, it appears but later disappears.

I think I know why the task disappeared, in the endpoint details, task executions section, I deleted the execution not realising this deletes the task from the library rather than just the execution. 

Last issue remaining is why one endpoint will not deploy but now I can focus all my efforts into fixing that.
