We can't compare anything -- we can't see anything :(

Maybe yes, maybe no. We can't see anything, so we can't verify anything more than that you think everything is OK. Please post command line and output of ifconfig -a (and Win's ipconfigall) as well as route -n. Router config also needed.

It's almost certainly a config error but we can't spot it or really help without seeing your currrent configs. These must be verified before looking at any other possible issues.

When using Linux are the pings simply dropped or do you get error messages?

How are you getting network info at boot? Static? DHCP? Why are the IPs of Windows and Linux so far apart and different (just curious -- should make no difference)? Are you sure the router is entered as Linux's default route-GW?

If you entered the network params into RH9 by hand, you likely missed a key entry in one of the several files. Have you tried setting up the net params using RH's networking gui? Try $ neat or $usr-bin-redhat-config-network from command line.

Your route table needs net entries for (at least):

Does the router see Linux arp requests on the wire? Any way to tell? Can you at least see its arp cache?
