Sounds like there is a firewall in between. A polite firewall
will often answer back with an ICMP message of some sort.
Usually "admin prohibited filter" (or something)
A rude one will just drop the packets, and be quiet about it.
Another thing that strenghtens my suspicion is that the next IP
address in the range shows the same.

Ask you friendly network administrator.
