I think that's often to do with public wifi providers not wanting people gaming on their internet services and they block certain ports?
I don't know the details on it but it's certainly happened to me before when I tried to get EQ running in my uni library when bored... connected to server select fine, wouldn't let me get any closer.
I guess the one alternative to try that I've never done myself is to try tethering to your phone and using that?
