Probably worth firing up Linux from a boot/root disk pair on the Win32
machine, just to make sure there's isn't some weird Windows like problem
there.
Other than that, how about sticking tcpdump on the Linux box and looking at
what's happening on the wire?

That GATEWAY entry looks b0rken; if your eth0 address is 192.168.2.1/24,
how are you going to reach 199.1.2.10? Not that this should be causing you
problems talking to something on the same subnet.
