That's your answer.  Check routing by running (on flash)

  netstat -rn

If that looks ok, then 192.168.10.101 is either off (if it's on, run
ifconfig to assure that the ethernet port is up on that IP) or there
is a bad cable between it and flash.

Yes, that's the default.  And that's on 192.168.10.101, right?
