While I agree that in a working environment the machines should be on the same subnet, for sanity's sake during this investigation, I have given each of my two machines a completely different number to avoid confusion for myself and others :)
Machine 192.168.42.2 has a routing table (given by netstat -rn)
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.42.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.42.2 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Here's your problem, your default route is localhost. That can never work. You need to set the default route to the 10.0.0.1 machine, however that's done in redhat manually from the command line it's route del -net 0.0.0.0 route add default gw 10.0.0.1 dev eth0 I can't say how it's configured in a red hat system
