I know it has taken a while, but I have been trying to
figure this out and doing some research on my own.

the linux box router/firewall is 192.168.1.1
the windows box is 192.168.1.2

IPchains is running, but I have set a rule to allow
traffic from the 192.168.1.X subnet.

Would it be good if I posted the
/etc/sysconfig/ipchains file?
