Firewalls in the corporate

Jeez getting a ZIP file to where I needed it today was such a pain! I got WinSCP onto a Windows VM where a copy of Maximo was installed, to SCP the directory structure to a Linux box (Maximo admins: you have to do this because someone decided Maximo could only be installed on Windows). Turns out after a bit of debugging the Windows box wasn't in the same VLAN segment as the Linux boxes. So if this happens to you:
telnet 22 (do this both ways, you get timeout)
WinSCP times out
tracert times out
Turning off iptables on the Linux box does nothing (/etc/init.d/iptables stop)

...then you probably have your "Windows" machine in the wrong place.
