Assuming this isn't a temporary problem that has now gone away...

It is almost certainly something to do with your firewall. Your sysadmin 
may have accidently opened 2401 as the source port not the destination 
port? And check it's definitely a TCP port that's been opened. After that, 
I dunno. Sniff the ethernet traffic to see if it makes it past the 
firewall maybe.
