Are those interfaces working ok? if ifconfig gives you correct info,
then you have an incomplete route table. just type: "route add -net
156.83.168.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0" or "route add -net
156.83.168.0 eth0" then your box will know how to reach the
156.83.168.0 network and telnet should work.
to check your routing table type "netstat -nr"

yes... a route to your lan through the ether cards.
