bootstrap

I have a glyphicons in Bootstrap 3. They work very nicely here:

latest Chrome
latest Firefox
latest Safari
latest Explorer
latest Android

At one facility, the glyphicons don't show. The buttons come up blank. How do I troubleshoot?

They are security sensitive there. I don't have systems or network access.. and am not in a position to request that. Troubleshooting with advanced tools isn't going to happen. Here's what I have access to:

Internet Explorer 9
Behind a very secure firewall

Sometimes, I think the glyphs not showing is the IE 9.. but my code should be addressing that.

Sometimes, I think their firewall is blocking the CDN. Can I enter a URL into a browser to test if the CDN is there?

Sometimes, I think my FB share and like buttons upset this facilty's firewall, and they tie the whole thing down.

Any suggestions at how I begin to research this? Or maybe you have an outright idea for IE 9 and glyphs (though my code is very-very close to the demo's which work).
