First of all - did you install TCP on the windoze box?
(maybe it's a silly suggestion, but once I spent 1 hour wondering why a PC
couldn't ping the others before realizing it'c ethernet cable wasn'y
plugged in...)
Linux has it as default if you install the network, but windoze doesn't -
it uses netbeui and similar.
So installl TCP and configure IP address first.
