IF you have https://... (mind the S: httpS:// which is 'secure http')
you will need port 443 open

But as Marco says: most wms servers run on normal http port == 80.

Another thing that comes to mind: maybe you are connecting to geoserver
instances? Which run in servlet containters, which often run on port 8080

But all this has nothing to do with QGIS :-) it is all just networking
stuff...

Which brings me to the next hurdle... is the lab using a proxy server?

If so: you need to make it known to QGIS too.
