Nope.  RDP, WTS, and PCAnywhere connections happen all the time
through this router.  I actually tried having the SSH server listen
on port 5631 (the PCAnywhere port) just in case there was something
port-specific like that happening; and I get the same results.  I
could use port 3389 (the RDP port) except that I need to RDP to my
own machine at times..., so I'd have to involve WORK_2, run Putty
on THAT, and then vNC from WORK_1 to WORK_2, instead of localhost.
Messy, and a lot of effort when there's no good reason to believe
that this is happening.


Also, from my original message:

A Linksys router is not capable of doing packet-size blocking of
this nature, so it can't be anything "special" added from work; it
has to be something else.
