It would have worked from your home connection where there is no firewall, but to work same code in a company where they are using a corporate firewall, you need to request them for opening SMTP ports for your smtp server. Default is 25 gmail uses 587 and 465

Add this to your web.config and replace your.proxy.address with the address of proxy server:

<system.net>
    <defaultProxy enabled="true">
      <proxy proxyaddress="your.proxy.address"/>
    </defaultProxy>
  </system.net>
