In doing some googling on your device, it seems others have encountered the same issue with some reporting success after altering the MTU. 

I suppose I would try changes there first.  Posts suggest trying 1400.

If possible, I would check the network devices at the remote end to see what they are set to.  Normally, the default is 1500.

The ip command can be used to set the MTU for the interface.

Additionally, and this is a long time ago, I had similar network issues with a device and it was necessary to turn off tcp_window_scaling in the kernel.  If memory serves me, the problem was between a linux system and a WinXP application.
