You have a routing issue on flash, Mark.  Check "netstat -rn" and verify
that a) your default route is correct and b) that your netmask is
correct.  192.168 is a non-internet-routable class B (/16) network, so
you can safely get by with a "255.255.0.0" netmask.

It's not an SSH issue, it's a routing issue.  You have no route to the
192.168.10 network.  If you can dump out the results of "ifconfig -a"
and "netstat -rn", we can help.
