ppm should use the standard http port 80, so whatever works on your web browser should work for ppm.

Looks like I need to pursue a conversation with the firewall/proxy admin staff. Not certain what to ask. Do I basically need to id what port allows incoming <insert_protocol_here?> Is it http? ftp? or something else? ppm needs a port that will allow incoming what....? I just need to understand better so I can ask...
