^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This netmask is telling the machine that it is the only host that is
reachable on this net. To talk to 10.0.0.4, you'd need to losen up
that last byte to at least 248, but since it is a 10-net, might as
well use 255.255.255.0 or, heck, treat it like the class A adress it
is, 255.0.0.0.
