This is likely to be a MTU problem on the Windows machine. There's a problem in Windows in that it doesn't respond to requests to reduce MTU if the target host is on the local subnet. Since you are using fake ips on the local subnet, the Windows machine will be seeing a local connection and always used the ethernet MTU + dontfragment bit set. Those packets will then be dropped by the cipe link.
It will cause the connection to drop as soon as the Windows machine starts sending maximum size packets. This problem is documented in http://support.microsoft.com/search/preview.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q301337 There's apparently a fix for it now, there wasn't when I had the problem originally, so what I did was to permanently lower the MTU on the Windows machine to the MTU of the cipe link by editing the registry.
