<div dir="ltr">It'd be inclined to agree with Richard that it's a proxy issue. Your web-browsers are almost certainly pre-configured to use the proxy. If you look at their settings they'll have the proxy settings in them.<div>

</div>IF you have https://... (mind the S: httpS:// which is 'secure http')<br>
you will need port 443 open<br>
<br>
But as Marco says: most wms servers run on normal http port == 80.<br>
<br>
Another thing that comes to mind: maybe you are connecting to geoserver<br>
instances? Which run in servlet containters, which often run on port 8080<br>
<br>
But all this has nothing to do with QGIS :-) it is all just networking<br>
stuff...<br>
<br>
Which brings me to the next hurdle... is the lab using a proxy server?<br>
<br>
If so: you need to make it known to QGIS too.<br>
<br>
