Ted you cant troubleshoot vlsm without configs.
Some things to remember are subnets are different networks, and need a
router.
VLSM is just a way to effectively use available address space. But they are
still subnets and need to be routed.
1. Find out if you can ping local addresses.
2. Find out if you can ping remote addresses and which ones.
2a. Routes have to be coming and going.
3. Also which type of routes do you have. Static/Default/Dynamic
4. Which type of routing protocols are you using. Distance Vector won't
work.
5. What do you care! If you are just the "Server Guy" if your services are
running then your done. Let the "Networking Guy" figure it out.
You ain't getting paid to do it. We on the list are not getting paid to
trouble shoot major VLSM problems either. This is more a group study/help
site.
