VPN *almost* works

[Phillip Mills]

I am attempting to connect from a SUSE 10.2 machine, through a  
Linksys router and DSL modem to something called a "Cisco ASA" (so  
says my network admin).

After running 'vpnc' some things work.  I can 'ssh' to various  
machines on the remote network, log in and view directories; I can  
use 'smbclient' to make connections.  Most other things simply hang.   
Attempting to copy a file after connecting through ssh or smb hangs,  
as does svn or wget.

At first I thought I was running into something that was protocol- 
dependent, but now I'm wondering whether it's related to either  
timeout or volume of data.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
