Hello,
maybe you could try to turn off send_redirects??
echo "0" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/send_redirects echo "0" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/send_redirects
Maybe you'll have to write eth0 instead of eth0, depending on the interface for the internal network.
Hope this helps

Point is that the WinXP machine is being given a redirect by the Linux firewall and that is being ignored, either due to inability of WinXP or some misconfiguration by me.

What are the netmasks for the two machines?? If you give them a /18 (or a /16) netmask and the associated broadcast addresses, then they'll know to just talk directly to each other.
Of course, I barely trust Windows to understand netmasks, but it should be OK -- far better than trying to get it to accept ICMP redirects.
