Yes, it's a problem.  It's the problem: Enterprise Manager can't be using
port 1433 if port 1433 won't answer a telnet call.  

It's possible to dig the EM's connection setting out of the registry, but
it might be easier to get your DBA to tell you on what port the server
listens.  

Frediano's ping suggestion is a good one.  It's not clear from, "but from
here I am able to connect" where "here" is, relative to the EM and the
server.  Is there a firewall involved?  

HTH.
