    If you can ping the server from your machine then probably it will not be a firewall issue.

    Correct, ICMP traffic is the first traffic a firewall usually blocks. If you can ping the server you likely have no firewall in place unless your admins explicitly opened the firewall for ICMP (highly unlikely 😉 ).
