I assume your router does DNS for the internet, but you don't have DNS for
your internal hosts. That's why there's a timeout when connecting from an
internal host.
You could try adding your internal host to the hosts file and see if that
makes a difference.
You don't have to be at the box, you can ssh into it and launch tethereal.
See what happens if you do a:
dig google.com
dig -x 192.168.0.1
And other name related stuff
