Well, thinking about it logically, it seems pretty simple. If you're ssh'ed
into one system, then you're onlyconnectivity to the netwrok is through an
encrypted tunnel. Once you telnetto another system, and set your DISPLAY to
the system you're physically in front of, that system will send all traffic
directly to thast IP unencrypted, not through the system you're ssh'ed into.
There is no unencrypted connection between your system and the network,
therefore, there's nothing to route those packets back to the systemm you're
conncted to, just the default route of each network's routers.
What I think you'd need to do is have the system yuo've telnet'ed to somhouw
use the system you're ssh'ed into as a default route.
I may be wrong, but from a physical layer perspective, that's my guess as to
what's going on.
