Do you have an internal address (192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x or the other range) 
or an external address? My relay has an internal address; you connect to it on 
port 110 (usually used for fetching mail), and my router forwards it to 
another port. If you have an external address, but are behind a firewall, try 
the following:

On your computer:
$nc -lp 3355

On a computer outside your institute that you have access to:
$telnet primer.example.com 3355

You should get "Connected to primer.example.com", and anything you type on the 
outside box should appear on yours, and vice versa. If not, try another port.

If you have only internal addresses, you'll have to ask whoever runs the 
firewall to forward a port to you.
