This is my interpretation of what happened in "The Siege Part III", as well as possible plot speculation into "The Intruder" set to air Friday, July 22. WARNING: The following topic will contain spoilers in both my original post and likely in every response posted. If you do not want to be spoiled concerning these two episodes - and possibly much more than these - turn back now and read another thread. Thank you.
First of all I want to establish that this is mostly speculation. If I appear to say that I firmly believe something or state something as fact you should immediately frame that in your mind as mere speculation, because my writing style tends to be straight-forward and opinionated.
That said, lets get on with the good stuff. Remember, this thread will contain actual spoilers, potential spoilers, and much speculation, turn back now if you do not wish to be spoiled.

Shortly after the group managed to destroy the two remaining hive ships which were threatening impending attack and capture on Atlantis the expidition team picked up many more Wraith Hive Ships in transit to Atlantis to pickup where the defeated ones left off, way more - 12 to be exact. Lt. Col. John Shepherd had the best idea of his career thus far in that the team should take the Daedalus, which happens to be loaded for bear with Asgard shields, beaming technology, computers, and Tau'ri nukes, railguns, crew and etc., after the Wraith Hive Ships at one of their hyperspace jumps on their way to the ancient city, Atlantis.
Everything was going well, despite Hermiod being upset that the humans should learn that their actions have consequences, until the Wraith employed an unprecedented tactic - countermeasures to prevent the beaming technology from transporting the weapons aboard their vessels. The Wraith had circumvented the Asgard technology after only three ships being destroyed by this method. Remember, they only beamed Lt. Col. Shepherd out of the other remaining ship when his payload was about to be delivered.
How is it that the Wraith managed to accomplish such a feat? Remember, something is only as good as it's weakest part, and the Daedalus is a Tau'ri ship outfitted with Asgard technology. I firmly do not believe that the Asgard technology was at fault. Perhaps the Tau'ri electronics, computers or other equipment had a fault or exploitable weakness which was somehow linked or networked with the Asgard technology.
The premise for "The Intruder" - Friday July, 22nd's episode - is slated as, "The Daedalus is infected by a Wraith computer virus, while members of the expedition hope to return to Earth.", which it has probably picked up with its encounter with the Wraith's 12 Hive Ships. This virus is likely the culprit of the Asgard Transporter failure, and likely the consequences Hermiod was speaking of. Hermiod knew that by utilizing the technology the way that they were would draw the Wraith's undivided attention.
Thus the Wraith successfully stopped the destruction of their Hive Ships, put the Tau'ri in retreat, and thought they'd be able to easily take the ancient city of Atlantis because of the Tau'ri's frantic retreat.
