I think you also need to add a route to your VM through the physical
IP address of the Windows PC. The problem is VMware usually introduces
NAT for the VM. Your Linux box will not be able to find a route to
this PC. You can try this:

# route add -host <vm-linux-ip> gw <windows-box-physical-ip>
<network-card-interface>

If you prefer, you can add the whole VMware network, replace `-host
<vm-linux-ip>` with `-net <vm-linux-network> netmask <vm-linux-subnet,
should be 255.255.0.0>`.

(I can't supply you the exact IP because I'm also confused with your
network topology.)
