Strange, but could you post the routing table of a machine on the other LAN? 
If it has a similar error, it won't know how to reply

Edit /etc/sysconfig/network/config, towards the end you have

## Type:        string
## Default:     "eth*[0-9]|tr*[0-9]|wlan[0-9]|ath[0-9]"
#
# Automatically add a linklocal route to the matching interfaces.
# This string is used in a bash "case" statement, so it may contain
# '*', '[', ']'  and '|' meta-characters.
#
LINKLOCAL_INTERFACES="eth*[0-9]|tr*[0-9]|wlan[0-9]|ath[0-9]"

You could comment it out and replace it with

LINKLOCAL_INTERFACES=""
