Joseph,

Most services that I know of do not use the same source port number as the
destination port number.  The operating system picks a random port number
greater than 1-24 (and usually greater than 10000) for the outgoing
connection.  Did you make all of Klaus' suggested changes to your rules?
 They include changing the source port from 3001 to "any".

Check the firewall log to see if it is blocking the packets.  Go to
"Status" -> "System Logs" and click the "Firewall" tab.  Look for entries
coming from the outside IP addresses that you specified.

It may also help to check general network connectivity.  See if your
pfSense box can ping and/or traceroute to the internal and external hosts.
 If you add a rule on the WAN to pass ICMP traffic, you can ping from the
remote hosts to your pfSense to confirm that you don't have a network issue
there.

You should also make sure that your rules are consistent because your
original table had some *3*001 and some *5*001.
