My suggestion to this problem is to reconfigure the Cisco box a
little. What I have done is I reconfigured the box a little so 
that it accepts Ctrl-C as an escape (break) character.

Just add the escape-character commands to your Cisco's 
configuration and if it gets stuck, hit Ctrl-C fast a couple of 
times. I have learnt also to ping first and traceroute only if 
ping says the target is alive :)

Here's an example, Ctrl-A = 1, Ctrl-B = 2, Ctrl-C = 3, etc.

line con 0
 escape-character 3
line vty 0 4
 escape-character 3
