Can't get packet filter to allow hulu.com traffic

ScottG
My firewall is dropping the following (I'm trying to watch video on Hulu.com).

TCP  192.168.216.102 : 52120  → 76.9.18.78 : 1935
(ports and servers vary a bit with Hulu)

I tried a couple firewall rules, but neither fixed the problem:

Internal Network > Hulu Video > Any
Hulu Video is defined as:  TCP 1:65535 → 51572:53000 

I also tried this firewall rule:
Internal Network > Any > Hulu Server
Hulu Server is defined as Host 76.9.18.78

The following works, but I don't have such a wide-open rule:
Internal Network > Any > Any 

I use HTTP Proxy with authentication and I noticed if I add my computer to the transparent mode skiplist and select the checkbox, the video works and I can watch hulu.

I tried adding an HTTP exception for hulu.com, but this didn't work.

I only have this problem on my Mac; hulu works fine on my PC.  On both computers use Firefox 3 and I have the HTTP proxy setup for the browser.
