    I can't CVS to sourceforge.net from work and I can't SSH to another
    companies server from my debian Testing install at work.

    I should've mentioned this is all on the same laptop:

    When running the laptop with Debian Testing at home, over dialup I can
    CVS to sourceforge.net and I can SSH into another company's server
    over the internet.

    When I take that laptop to work and hook into the network the CVS and
    SSH connections won't start, they timeout before anything starts. (I
    can still browse with Mozilla.)

    If I switch out my hard drive in that laptop and run Windows XP at
    work with the same network connection, I can use CVS and PuTTY (for
    SSH connection) just fine.

    I'm not running CVS over SSH. I'm using the two programs seperately. I
    noticed they both complain about connection timeouts and am hoping
    this is a clue.

    Any ideas? Thanks.
