Hi mate,

Yeah, remove the default Gateway, that's only used to connect a computer to seperate physical network, like connecting your LAN to the Internet they would both go though the same gateway (ie: 10.10.10.1)

At the moment your computers are trying to route their packets through a non-existant third client (and a different one for each computer), and since these clients don't exist the packets are just not going anywhere.

Have fun
