I have a windows client that's mobile. We have a SUN server hosting an application. The client accesses the application via a terminal emulator over a VPN.

The mobile client has two network adapters.

The clients wireless adapter is for broadband, and VPN connectivity. IP assigned via DHCP from the ISP. and then once connected via the VPN, the adapter is issued an IP like 10.10.10.XXX

The wired adapter is for connectivity to a networked printer that is also client side -adapter IP 10.10.11.XXX

The Network printer is configured with 10.10.11.XXX

On the client system, both the wired adapter and wireless adapter used the same scheme: 10.10.10.XXX however the adapters would conflict and we could never have both adapters active at the same time. We could have one or the other, but not both simultaneously. Which is why we changed the wired adapter and printer to 10.10.11.XXX. This has resolved our conflicting adapters.

Since the mobile client is using a Terminal Emulator I need to figure out how to route the clients print jobs to the network printer. Since the printer is on a different IP Scheme when compared to the Server I'm guessing this involves server side solaris configuration. Any suggestions?
