I'd suggest using tcptraceroute to see where the connection attempts die.
Use the specific port number that matches the service you're trying to
connect to.
If that doesn't help, post some relevant output diagnostics, such as
ifconfig from your Linux box and ipconfig from your Windows box, traceroute
results from both, etc.
