You need to.
1) Enable routing on the Evilware box {Control Panel, Network, protocols,
TCPIP, one of the tabs}. NT does not enable routing across network cards
by default - the option is something like "Enable IP routing". I could
look it up exactly, but you get the idea. :-)
2) Have the equivalent of ipchains running on the evilware box - Wingate
is one such program {is this what you mean by "proxy program" running on
the EW box?}. Unless, of course, you evilware box connects to a private IP
network also in the 192.168 range, in which case you've obviously got
something upstream doing the masquerading/NAT.
I suspect the first suggestion might be your problem. Check it out.
