Help with Multiprotocol connection

I'm trying to establish a multiprotocol connection from one SQL server to another through a firewall. When I try to create a SQL server registration in enterprise manager I get the following error.

SQL Server registration failed because of the connection failure displayed below. Do you wish to register anyway?

Communication Link Failure.

I can make a registration fine using tcp/ip over port 1433. I can also connect to the server I'm trying to connect to from a different server over multiprotocol so I think I have it narrowed down to something wrong on the computer I'm trying to connect from. I have the client alias set up the same on the one its failing from and the one its working from. Anyone have any thoughts?
