The first step is to get the Windows machine to talk to the Linux machine 
(ping linux from windows, telnet into the linux box, etc).

In /etc/network/interfaces replace 'sit0' with 'eth0' (keeping backups, of
course) and reboot.

It's also likely that Linux has not been setup as a 'router'.

Can you browse the web via 'lynx' on the Linux box?

Ok basically sit0 == eth0 but has ipv6 capabilities
