First place to look is your routing table. Are you able to talk to your router.

/etc/ping 10.10.10.x (router)

Can you use 'nslookup' ?

What about traceroute ?

ther is no need connected outer netwok. just internal network

hpbaseconf is

# The station address and duplex are set through the lanadmin(1m) command.
#
#####################################################################

HP_BASET_INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan1
HP_BASET_STATION_ADDRESS[0]=0x080009DA00EA
HP_BASET_DUPLEX[0]=0x080009DA00EA

netconf is not configured

The HP_BASE.._DUPLEX cannot be the MAC address of the LAN card. The values for that variable is either auto or 10FD (10BT full duplex) 100FD, 10HD, 100HD, AUTO and so on. Look in the rc.config.d/hpbasetconf file for the exact names of the values. You might also want to post here the following outputs:
ifconfig lan0
ifconfig lan1
ifconfig lan2
netstat -rn
and finally, make sure that you do not have another script dealing with networking in /etc/rc.config.d Some people make copies of the netconf inside the rc.config.d and that's not right since the copied script will be executed as well during system startup.

Can you post the rest of the info too? Sometimes, I have seen systems with two lan cards connected and configured on the same physical LAN and HP-UX does not support that. Also, post the netstat -rn output to make sure that the 10.10.10.0 network is actually routed internally through the right LAN interface.
So again, netstat -rn and ifconfig on all the lan cards.

I don't really see anything wrong in your ifconfig and netstat -rn outputs. The only thing that goes through my mind right now is the device file for lan1. You might want to try an insf -e command to create any missing device files. Also, the only thing that is clearly wrong is the hpbasetconf file for the DUPLEX value (check your /etc/rc.log file for networking messages during startup). I would focus on the device file at this point. Also, check the syslog file if there are any apparent messages and I assume you are at a decent patch level on that machine.
It wouldn't hurt to do a lanscan command and then use landiag to examine information for the cards.
That's about it,
George
