Don't forget that the listener will assign a new port once connection is established. Your firewall has to be Oracle aware.

ask your network guy for firewall settings. you might be put in a vpn group with only permissions to access your desktop, your emails etc, but not necessarily direct access to your database servers. What I usually do is to remote desktop to my machine at work then work from there.
