2 computers, different IP class, problems connecting

Hi,

I've got a Linux box with IP 10.67.27.44 (through DHCP via cablemodem on
WAN) and a Windows 98 laptop which doesn't get an IP from the DHCP
server, so it's IP is fixed as 192.168.1.2.

On the linux box, i've done ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.1 and also added a
route: route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0

Situation: I can mount a windows share on the Linux box, but not the
other way round. From Linux, I can ping 192.168.1.2, but from Windows I
can't ping 192.168.1.1, only 10.67.27.44.

This might not be an immediate samba-issue, but I was hoping someone on
this list has been in a similar situation before...

Thanks for all help, and please CC replies to me since I'm not
subscribed.
