[ILUG] Cisco VPN Client and NTL Broadband

Hi,

We have recently switched from Eircom Broadband to Chorus/NTL.

The biggest problem is when my wife connects into her place of work.
Whenever she attempts to access any web page, it never renders. What I
can see is that the HTTP connections are timing out. But I don't know
where to go from there.

Perhaps someone on ILUG can offer some pointers on what I can do to
figure out what's going on.

The following is what I believe is relevant information:
+ Debian Etch
+ Cisco VPN Client 4.6.02
+ Scientific Atlanta cable modem
+ Firefox (though I see this behaviour with Konqueror and lynx)
+ Using telnet to the server and port and then using the HTTP
  GET command for the specific URL works: the HTML source is
  returned.
+ Other connection types seem to work fine (IMAP for e-mail,
  telnet, ping, etc.)

Can you suggest a few things or tools I could use that would help me out?

Thanks,

Éibhear
