Does the router between your XX subnet & the rest of the world know the
route to the ip address allocated to the Windows PC is via the Linux box?
Often with these sort of problems, it is not the route to something that is
the problem it is the route back from that something that has not been
defined.
If it was easy we would all be out of a job! Best of luck.
