Verify your ip addresses netmasks and gateways, you mentioned 192.168.0.1
twice (typeo? windows couldn't route it's self out of a wet paper towel,
most people would put linux as the gateway) what does your linux routeing
table look like (route -n), check 'ifconfig eth0' TX/RX errors? droped
packets anything like that? As mentioned below cabling could be the
problem, try useing a cable from one of the pc's that does function.
