Do the other machines in the network have a route to the device? if "all
systems are on the same subnet (taking that to include the embedded
system)" it should NOT work. you'll need a static route to the embedded
system's IP address either from the defaultrouter of the local network or
on every host from which you want to connect. basically, you need to tell
all the machines that your workstation connected to the embedded system is
a gateway to that IP address.
this is deliciously offtopic but useful for people to know
