A couple of things I can think of...
1) you will need to be running a kernel with IP forwarding compiled in.
2) does your Windows machine have a validly assigned IP address? For example,
if you simply assigned an address to it without actually being granted a Class
C (or better) address, then your machine is actually generating ping requests
from an address assigned to someone else...the packet goes out, and the
routers on the other side say, "hmmm...this packet is from kalamazoo -- I'll
send the response back there".
Basically, you have to have the other end set up to route packets BACK to you.
If the other end ONLY knows about the Linux box, nothing is going to come
back.
