If it works for you and not for anyone else, going through the same 
machines, then you need to check the Windows box for differences in the 
network settings on the user accounts. You may have changed something 
to make this work in your environment that makes this work that the 
others have not set.

P.S. A little bit more detail would make this easier to comment on, as 
well. Are they connected to a switch? Wireless through an AP? What are 
the firewall rules on the Linux box, if any? How about policy routing? 
Things like that...
