[DM-MUG] Networking and access to Lexmark Printer on Ethernet network

[Bryan Baker]

Are you sure you're still on the same network there?
Most routers dhcp setups ship w/ 192.168.0.* networks, not 10.*  
networks.
What is the IP on your mac? If it's a 192.168 address your are trying  
to get to a non-routable network from another non-routable network.

not sure where you got the dump below from, so I just wanted to bring  
this up as the place I'd look first. If you can't ping it, it's not on  
your network (in some way).
