Subject: for packet routing puzzle lovers--aka, routing problem

Hi Eric. I didn't look at your specific routing tables below, and I don't
know the first thing about Windows...

However, I'm willing to bet that your problem is "Computer B" (your
windows machine) does not have IP forwarding turned on (for both
interfaces). More than likely, that's the root of your problems.
