Hi everybody.
I'm new to the list. Please be patient if my english will not be perfect: I'm italian..
I'm experiencing a quite strange problem in a customer's OSX Network.
(I'm not an expert about MacOSX networks..)

An imac workstation runs on a subnet 192.168.1.0/24.
We're having a L3 switch that serves multiple labs with their own vlans/subnets. (192.168.11.0/24, .12.0/24,...) In each labs there are a number of imacs running, with the "remote control" service enabled (osx 10.9).

If I do a network scan from my imac, specifying the subnet range (eg. 192.168.11.11 to 192.168.11.249) I can see machines and all

status informations are listed, but I can't make the screen control feature work.
(message saying "connecting to ...." appear, and remains on the screen..)

With machines that are directly on the 192.168.1.0/24 network, instead, no problem: I can control them regularly.

Since (as far as I know..) ARD use the standard 5900 port, why doesn't it work correctly across different subnets? Routing is working fine (i can reach remote imacs using ping or other diag commands, and status messages on ARD are displaying fine)

Do these systems use some kind of "out-of-the-box" firewall that I need to reconfigure to accept requests from subnets that are not the subnet where the client runs on?
