192.168.30.21 is probably your gateway, or a host a few hops upstream. 
Since (I assume) your ethernet card is not configured with a 10.x.y.z
address, you cannot ping the router directly.  You have to (temporarily)
change your IP address to be 10.0.0.2/255.0.0.0 or something similar in
order to talk to the router.
