TFS build agent not responding

I ran into a problem that I cannot solve, here are the details:

I use TFS2008 in my APPTier and in my Build agent. First, I installed everything on the Apptier server (including the build agent), and I managed to run the build on the Apptier server (and build). Now I need to create a new Build agent on another server. I installed Team Foundation Build on my build machine (called MyBuildAgent). Using TeamExplorer, I create a new build agent that points to my build machine to create a project, but when I run the build, it displays the following message:

TF215085: An error occurred while connecting to agent \myproject\MyBuildAgent: TF215076: Team Foundation Build on computer MyBuildAgent (port 9191) is not responding. (Detail Message: Unable to connect to the remote server)

The Visual Studio Team Foundation Build service runs on my build machine, I can also start building in Apptier from MyBuildAgent, but I can not start building in MyBuildAgent.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong or what part did I skip to set up my new build agent?

First, check that you can ping your build machine from the application level to eliminate simple network problems.

Secondly, make sure you enable port 9191 through the firewall on the build machine; you may need to add an explicit rule to the Windows firewall to allow this.

Two things to try:

1) Make sure the build service is running. (Enter Services.msc in start-> run, find the build service and start it)

2) If the Service is running, right-click the Service and select properties. Go to the dependencies tab and remove the SSL dependency, if any.

3) If you need to use SSL, look at this link that discusses its configuration: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/tfsbuild/thread/ae5f2472-dd11-4921-a485-a22aa58bae7e/

OK, now I'm working. Even I turned off the Windows firewall in AppTier and on my build machine, I realized that our network works in ISA Server, and this was the reason for the denial of access to port 9191 on both servers (apptier and build). As soon as we create a rule that allows us to communicate through this port, everything works fine.

Thanks for the answers guys, I really welcomed your help!
