Nope, the 10's net is just as unreachable. Don't know if this will shed any 
light on things, but here's the router's routing table:

Destination LAN IP  Subnet Mask      Gateway      Interface
66.32.240.1         255.255.255.255  0.0.0.0      WAN (Internet)
192.168.2.0         255.255.255.0    0.0.0.0      LAN & Wireless
0.0.0.0             0.0.0.0          66.32.240.1  WAN (Internet)
