Sounds like a firewall issue. Do you have something like Norton's
Internet Security running? It will not all echo requests so you won't
get a response from the host whe pinging that machine.
Try to telnet to the Linux box. If you can get through, then it's most
likely an issue like that. Allow that sort of protocol, or lower the
level of security. Your choice there.
But if you can ping the Linux box from the Windows machine, then they
can talk, just the ICMP echo request is denied.
