G'day... You shouldn't have a default gateway of 192.168.1.1 if the machines are on the same network segment!!!
What this means, is that your machine is trying to send all the packets for 192.168.1.3 (Windows box) through a router/gateway with the network ip address of 192.168.1.1 as this machine cannot be found (or is not set up for such functionality) the packets are being ignored and lost. Hence your problem. Remove this entry from your route and your network should work fine. All the best...

At the moment I can't ping the W box. Using the network howto eth0 is 192.168.1.10 the route is .1.0 & the default gw is .1.1 Running netstat -r the table is as I think it should be. My card is ne2k-pci. The fault message is destination host unreachable (the w box is 192.168.1.3) Thanks.
