I've tried it with and without, although never while the masquerading box was connected to the wider internet (meaning that the gateway itself had no default gateway at the time). But since "ping" on the windows box doesn't seem to send a signal to the ethernet hub (it doesn't light the Rx light, and tcpdump doesn't show anything), I'm not sure that this is it.
