How can I check if port 5190 outgoing is blocked?

On a company LAN, I suspect that port 5190 outgoing is blocked (this means that AIM Express will not work)....is there an easy way that I can check this with something like ping?

...other than trying to track down firewall admin who will not tell because "it is secret....and why do I want to know anyway??"
 
Open Network Utility and click the port scan tab, put in your machines ip number and press scan... Walla! All open ports will be listed.
 
the computer on the company lan is running WinDOZE 98!! so it is *not as easy* as on a mac!!

...anyway, since I suspect it is being blocked by the firewall would a port scan on the PC concerned show anything since it cannot be seen directly from outside the LAN??
