I assume that the IP addresses of the Linux and the NT Box are on the
same (reserved as private) class C Network.
For Example  (/etc/hosts)

	192.168.0.1	linux
	192.168.0.2     nt

and your Netmask is 255.255.255.0

If you have something like this everything SHOULD be fine.

If not I would try to snoop all packages from eth1 to see 
if you have a (hardware?) network problem. 
(as root: "/usr/sbin/tcpdump -i eth1").
If you have a network sniffer for NT fire it up.
Try to ping from both sides (using IP addresses).
Watch for ARP traffic.
(Send me the trace if you still have problems)
