As stated, include full output...

Yes, since they are on the same subnet (10.0.0.x) you need no route table.
Otherwise the error "No such device" is because you have stated that there 
exist another host on the net (10.0.0.3) but not which gateway to use to 
get to this host.
Check the man page for route later. You might need it.
By heart it is something like:
route add -host hostip gw gatewayip
                    ----^
          This is what you missed... Specify gateway.

Check that the cable is crossed first.
That's a common problem. :)
