[Wylug-help] Odd ping output

[Jim Jackson]

what are the netmasks on the 2 systems involved? I suspect that
there is a mismatch, and a mismatch with what the router has as a netmask.

The one with the more restrictive netmask, with not see the other on the
same network, and so will send the packet to the router who will scratch
its head as to why it should be routing this packet, and send a redirect
back to sender to say hewy why don't you send direct!
