That's probably because RAS is changing your default route to go over the PPP
link. You should install a specific route on the NT box that leads to your
Linux box.

No; just that if you use your Linux to do a dial-up connection, you will most
likely have the reverse problem.
The best thing to do is to use a reserved network for your LAN, like
192.168.0.x. Set up non-default routes for this network, so that every machine
will route its 192.168.0.x packets to the local wire regardless of the default
route. Then each machine can change its default route according to its internet
access.
