You probably do want to check with your admin and ensure that either firewalling software is disabled or that a trust relationship is setup between the machines that you want to use. Effectively, Open MPI needs to be open random TCP ports between all the hosts that you will be using.
There are controls to restrict Open MPI's TCP port selection, but it's generally easier if you can just disable firewalling or setup trust between machines.
