Here's a bit more info on the layout here.

We have two physical /24 subnets in the building: 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.10.0. They're physically separate; switched by separate switchgear and all that good stuff. .125 has a NIC on both subnets (.1.125 and .10.125), and is configured to act as a router between the two.

My workstation, .1.32, is only on the .1 subnet and has a routing table entry informing it how to reach .10. Previously we had a host on the .10 subnet with a complementary routing table entry telling it how to reach .1, and we had communication between the subnets with no difficulty.

The target now, .10.4, is a Gestetner P7145 with onboard IPP/TCP/JetDirect/etc. network print services. While it can't handle special routing, it does have a default gateway setting, which I have set to .10.125, and this appears to work inasmuch as I can ping it from .1.32 as well as reach its http config interface from .1.32.

But, as shown previously, telnet can't find it, traceroute reports some errors, and cups won't talk to it.

Could the problem be on the remote end. The packets might be getting there, but might not know how to route back to your box.

Is this a vpn or tunnel that you have set up with forwarding from 1.124 to the 192.168.10.0 network?
