cannot locally telnet to 1433 but Mgt Studio ok ?

Hi,
I have a hosted server running win2003, sql express and an app I need to
connect to 1433.
In a cmd prompt I enter "telnet 99.99.99.99 1433" and I cannot connect.
(this works on every other server I have tested).
I CAN open sql mgt studio an connect ok (again on 1433 I guess by default)
and connect to the correct DB using the user my app uses.
My app throws an error as it cannot connect, I think I need to get this
telnet test working before my app will work. (app passes user + pass + IP +
DB).
What would block telnet on 1433 but still allow SQL Mgt Studio to connect on
1433 ?
My server IP is public, and telnet test uses public IP. Is it possible
telnet test is not routed locally and the Mgt Studio connection is routed
locally ?
I tried telnet on ip loop back but that did not work i.e "telnet 127.0.0.1
1433"
Thanks for any advice.

sorry failed to mention Mgt Studio uses netbios name ... when i enter IP i
does not work ... so i guess its the way traffic is routed. must be a
filtered somewhere in security policy or routers. both win + sql
authenrtication work using netbios name but neither with ip.
can someone confirm how traffic in these situations is routed ?

SQL Server supports multiple network libraries, TCP/IP is one, but Named
Pipes and Shared Memory are two others. Locally on the box you will often
be using the Shared Memory library.
It sounds like TCP/IP is just not enabled. Check the SQL SErver log to be
sure. IT will tell you on startup all the listener endpoints it starts.
Here's my log

You can change the protocols used by your server using the SQL Server
Configuration Manager.
