The problem is that your Windows box doesn't have a publically routable IP
address, probably. Search with google.com on 'rusty three line guide
masquerading' - this will allow your windows box to roam the internet using
the IP address of your gateway.

If you *do* have routable IP addresses for yuur subnet, your gateway needs
to know where to send data intended for your subnet. IP is very much a
two-way thing.
