Hmm. Can you connect to the gateway from the windows machines (does ping
or telnet work)? If you can't reach the gateway, then obviously the
problem is with the windows configuration or the local network.

>From the gateway, can you see the vpn server (ping / telnet etc)? If
not, then check the connections and also the routing table on the
gateway (if it defaults to the wrong interface, you might not get a
connection).

If the windows machines _can_ see the gateway and the gateawy _can_ see
the vpn server, but the windows machines _can't_ see the vpon server,
then it could be that you do not have IP forwarding working properly on
the gateway.

Good places to look for extra information are the HOWTO's on networking,
Firewalling, Masquerading and IPChains.
