Is Gmail your internet provider? If not, the connection crosses from
one internet provider to another and such connections to port 25
are oftem blocked to cause trouble for spammers.

Try Gmail's setup instructions:

Note that you'll have to choose whether to connect by POP or
IMAP to know which part of the instructions to follow.
