Thanks for your help.

Sounds like you don't have a route to the other box.  What do you get from
a "route -n"?  If the other box is in the 10.10.10.0/24 subnet you probably
just need a command like:

  route add -net 10.10.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.10.10.10

What is the IP of the other machine you are trying to ping?
