Connection timeouts with SSH and CVS

[Norman Davis <norman.j.davis.jr@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

I'm having problems using SSH and CVS at my work. The connections
timeout. However I can browse the internet with Mozilla just fine.

But this only happens on my network at work. When I dial in to my ISP
from home, in SSH and CVS both work fine. The network at work mostly
has Windows machines on it, and on my Windows machine there I can use
Putty and CVS fine.

I'm running Debian Testing, installed over the net a couple days ago
with a recent version of the installer.

Here's how SSH looks at work (except the IP address is changed to
protect the guilty), with verbose turned on :

norman@norml:~$ ssh -v john@999.999.999.999
OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian-8.sarge.4, OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Connecting to 999.999.999.999 [999.999.999.999] port 22.
debug1: connect to address 999.999.999.999 port 22: Connection timed out
ssh: connect to host 999.999.999.999 port 22: Connection timed out

And CVS with trace turned on :
norman@norml:~$ cvs -t
d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/mspgcc login
  -> parse_cvsroot ( :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/mspgcc )
  -> main loop with
CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/mspgcc
Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/mspgcc
CVS password:
  -> Connecting to cvs.sourceforge.net(66.35.250.207):2401.
cvs [login aborted]: connect to
cvs.sourceforge.net(66.35.250.207):2401 failed: Connection timed out

I can ping both these addressess just fine.

Any ideas how I can figure out whats wrong?
