probably not filtering/routing the https request through the firewall
properly. contact the firewall admin with your IP and the need for https
(port 443). if he said "he did that", ask him to look over the syntax
and make sure it's correct. advise him that you can get to it from
behind the firewall on the local net and not from outside the local net.
