Error Connecting to PeopleSoft

My college uses PeopleSoft for managing student records. I was unable to connect to the server from home. I had time out error.

My first hypothesis was that my firewall was blocking access. I was able to open the correct port (I am not mentioning it here for Security reasons) and I was able to connect.

I have had issues with open ports in the past so this an easy fix. The learning from this is to always consider port issues with Internet applications.
