Reboot of the MS SQL 2008 server fixed the issue. It was noted that domain authentication from the server was having problems. So some aspects of synchronization appear to have been pooched as well as port 1433 availability, RDP access and a few other things. Existing established SQL connections continued serving data while new connection requests failed.
