Does it have a default route? e.g.:
[root at dropbear ~]$ route|grep default
default wombat.vastsyst 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
and does the gateway (the destination of the default route) do NAT or
masquerading?
If the machine has a default route, but the gateway doesn't do NAT or
masquerading, then you won't be able to access external machines unless
you give it a routable IP address. 10.0.0.0/8 is a private network (for
use internally behind firewalls). This in one of three address blocks
reserved for private networks, defined in RFC 1918.
Cheers,
John
