Can you explain that? Maybe I just don't know how to interpret a routing 
table, but I don't understand where you are seeing that. I *have* seen
Mark's /etc/hosts, and it says:

  192.168.1.3     c211247-c   c211247-c.arvada1.co.home.com

which is consistent with Mark's diagram and different from both Windows
hosts. Two things have occurred to me:

 * I'm not sure the Linux box knows its own name is c211247-c
 * He can't ping either Windows box from the other, which strongly
   suggests to me that the problem may be in his Windoze configuration,
   and not a Linux problem at all

BTW, I pointed Mark to this list because I'd looked over his stuff and
found the issue to be beyond my modest networking knowledge.

Mark, maybe you should try something other than pinging -- say, start
up IIS on one of your Windows boxes and see if you can access it thru
HTTP. It seems conceivable that the Windows machines are set up to 
refuse ICMP packets, but are otherwise accessible.
