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.
