Two possibilities:
1. Linux machine's firewall configuration doesn't allow it to be pinged.
2. Netmasks are diffeernt on the two machines. Tony Lawrence

Considering that the other host is a win* host..
probably more than two scenarios..
Please give some details:
LIke:
The machines are connected by cat5 running to a hub
or by a crossover cable, etc...
The nics are blah..
Check cables: Check connections.
Check routes:
You can run route print from the command prompt on
your win host to get the netmask/info for your network
there and then route -n to get the netmask and info for
Linux.
If you can tshoot up through the network(routing)
and still no dice write back.
