i dont see a need for a proxy setup in IE
are you running a proxy ??

when you say the right gateway, the gateway should be set to the linux
box

when i look at the route command below, it appears the default gateway
for the linux box is the ppp0 connection, which is correct

i didnt check your iptables commands as it has been awhile since i set
mine up, and i dont even use it any more since i got a wireless router.

the way i would troubleshoot this problem;
from the winxp box
1.      ping localhost  (itself)
2.      ping 192.168.0.1        (itself)
3.      ping 192.168.0.2        ( the linux machine private side)
4       ping 200.151.49.70      ( the linux machine public side)
5.      ping 200.216.95.235    (the other end of your ppp connection)
note the ip address in steps 4 and 5 may change with each connection to
your isp


also note that i have found that 192.168.0.1 can be confused with
192.168.0.100 or 192.168.0.001.  i always enter the leading zeros
when applicable.  the same applies for 192.168.0.2

the traceroute command also is a good troubleshooting tool

good luck
