It is possible that all inbound ports to your system are blocked, so that you can't get to your machine from outside at all...If I was a typical admin, i'd set the network up that way, since there's no real reson to connect to your system from the outside.
Having said that, if you ask the admins real nice (say, with some free candy attached), they might consider opening a port for you.
