It would make sense to have server 10.0.10.1 subnet mask 255.255.255.0
as you have apparently done. Then all other computers should be
different addresses on the same subnet mask:

10.0.10.x  (ip addresses for any other computer)
255.255.255.0 (subnet mask for all computers)
where x > 1 and < 254 and all computers have a different value for x

since ping works from one machine to another, it would appear that this
is somewhat the method used.

You can set machine_name.domain_name.tld to be anything you want on each
machine but it would help if you have on each Linux computer, an entry
in /etc/hosts that identifies them such as:

127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain localhost
10.0.10.1    server.mydomain.com         server
10.0.10.2    linuxstation.mydomain.com   linuxstation
10.0.10.3    win-xp.mydomain.com         win-xp
10.0.10.4    mac.mydomain.com            mac

Each machine should have a gateway (aka router) address specified which
would be the path for all packets not going to the local subnet
(10.0.10.x subnet mask 255.255.255.0)

Your question is unclear - are you asking about setting up the computer
at 10.0.10.1 to be a router for the other machines to the internet?
