You better read a linux networking howto, since the type of questions you
are asking are really b4 the beginning of anything. Some basic knowledge is
nescesarry to be able to ask the right questions.

Btw the way: it is not your output that sucks, but your settings....

Your eth0 configurations shows an IP adress: 192.168.1.1
Your routing table shows an IP adress: 192.168.0.0
And last but not least you are pinging 192.168.1.2

This should be 1 and the same address in all 3 lines. Best never use any
zero or 255 adress in the end. And some purists like te reserve the dot1
address for a router, so use fe 192.168.1.2 for the linux box and
192.168.1.3 for the windows box.

But most of all, read some howto's first.
