Thanks for responding

I assign static internal IPs to the local machines.  Server is 10.10.0.1
and the others 10.10.0.2, 10.10.0.3 and 10.10.0.4 with the Gateway as
10.10.0.1.

For the DNS servers, I use my ISPs servers, 166.102.165.15 and
162.39.164.14 for all machines.

ifconfig reports:

Anything here that's incorrect?
