As always, the 1st question is what changed?

Assuming that the sql server sits internally, and the web server sits outside the firewall,
then normally a port needs to be forwarded across the router so the web app can talk to the db server. Microsoft sql is port 1433, Oracle uses 1525, and 3306 is common for mysql.
If that is how your app is setup, I would check the router and make sure that the 2 servers can communicate.
