You might have some problems with the PMTU-Discovery since you probably
have several different MTUs on the Path and firewalling in between.
Either get the firewalls to allow ICMP-frag-needed through or you might
want to try the 
TCPMSS target to confine TCP-packet to a maximum size, like:
-j TCPMSS --set-mss 1300 or -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu
I do not know if 1300 would be the best value but at least it should get
the connection working if thats the problem.

Cheers,

Ralf
