Chris,

Are you running tcp_wrappers?  What is in /etc/hosts.allow?

The most common cause that I have seen in lack of reverse dns lookup. It
may be that when they were on the same hub the reverse dns lookup worked.

Try putting the following line in /usr/local/etc/hosts.allow

telnetd : 24.xxx.xxx.xxx : allow
