Accessing Home computer from Work, having problems

[idea]

Home system:
cable internet -> Linksys BEFSX411 router -> slackware

Work system:
dsl -> Linksys WRT54GS wifi router -> winxp

My FTP server is glftpd, my ftp client is FileZilla
My SSH server is OpenSSH+OpenSSL, my SSH client is putty

I'm using 2 methods:SSH and FTP.

Even though the 2 protocols are VERY different, the problem seems to be the same with both! When asking FTP or SSH to transfer a large amount of data, the connection FREEZES. Using basic FTP, no encryption.. I can not get a file listing from any large directory. Large meaning more than 20 files/folders. It simply times out and disconnects. SSH, if I try to "cat" or "ls -al" ... the session freezes up. I tried AES and Blowfish, same results.

ALL latest versions.

Have you updated the firmware on the router as many routers have trouble with NAT'ing FTP data, also have you tried scp (Secure CoPy)?

My router is a POS, yes it's the "latest" firmware... beta actually. I'm scrapping it for a new one soon. I will try SCP and report back here.
