I did encounter this problem with other gits as well. In fact AFAIK, 
it's a well known problem that the pure git protocol nearly always is 
blocked with company firewalls, while http (which git servers can be 
enable to support) does of course work. Another option is using the git 
protocol via ssl. I did enable this for a git server that I am, allowed 
to do uploads to. It does work, but setting it up is rather complex.
