It's almost any connection -- and the few connections that do work don't seem 
to be related to the destination. It seems more related to transfer size:

$ scp bero@linux.cd:linux*tar.bz2 .
Password:
linux-2.6.27.2.tar.bz2		0%	0	0.0 KB/s	- stalled -

So, authentication works, and it definitely gets something back or it wouldn't 
know the filename -- but it stops and just sits there as soon as bigger 
amounts of data get transferred.

It can't be a performance problem on the router - this is a quadcore box that 
is (currently) almost idle, and has virtually no traffic on either ethernet 
card.
