My advice is to check/try the following:
; Check the routing
# route
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.2 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
(Or something similar)
; Make sure the interface is up and running correctly
# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:22:33:44:55
inet addr:192.168.0.2 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1
...
(Or something similar)
; Ping the Windows system WITHOUT using reverse name resolution
# ping -n 192.168.0.1
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.1ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.1ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.1ms
..
