It's not at all difficult to set up a firewall to stop any data other than on ports 80, 8080, and the email ports. In fact, any self-respecting firewall gets installed with the above settings. If that's the case with your network, you won't be able to play any mud through it, even if you're using a web client (Flash and Java clients also need to be able to push data through an unorthodox port).

If you wifi into your company's network, you'll be subject to the same firewall blocks. I suspect you are able to connect on your phone because you're using 3G.
