Well, the destination is not in my realm (different provider). Before 
contacting them I want to be sure that my system is not causing this. 
So far i just see a "tcp retransmission" while trying to establish
a https connection (captured on our router):

office -> destination: TCP 66	54487→443 [SYN] Seq=0 Win=5840 Len=0 MSS=1460 SACK_PERM=1 WS=8
office -> destination:	TCP 66	[TCP Retransmission] 54487→443 [SYN] Seq=0 Win=5840 Len=0 MSS=1460 SACK_PERM=1 WS=8

from my home and office, I can see via traceroute that for the destination the entry hop is the same. 

So, the destination is not responding with SYN,ACK when the connection passes 
our router. But as I said it is reachable from my home, and this is confusing.

Thanks,
