At some point in the past (a couple years ago now), I had problems 
connecting
via a wireless connection, because the Cisco client sets the "Don't 
Fragment" bit
on all its IP packets, but the MTU of the wireless connection was less 
than the
size of the packets the client was trying to send, so they all got 
dropped.  IIRC
raising the MTU of both ends of the wireless link solved it. This was over a
wifi connection, though, and I controlled both sides of the link (the 
other side
was my wireless AP), so I'm not sure if it's relevant to you.
