Well, in your case I would suspect routing. Did you set up a
(default) route? If you continue to have problems, include more
information like:
0. Did you read the NET-3-HOWTO?
1. When you say ping, what did you ping?
2. Do you have a hub? Are both the windoze and Linux PC's on the LAN
at the same time? Can they ping each other?
3. What does the output of ifconfig look like.
4. What does the output of the route command look like?
5. What does the output of lsmod look like? This will help determine
which module(driver) is being loaded for your NIC.
This will go a long way in helping diagnose the problem. And who
knows: maybe before you get down to number 5, you'll have figured it
out all by yourself.
