This might be the fault of masquerading. You've probably set it to masq
packets from the private network, which (though it doesn't seem very
logical) might be preventing the private network from getting ICMP packets
back. Try turning off the firewall and pinging to help localise the
problem. Also, what's set up as default gateway on he winboxes?

Don't think so - at least this is exactly how it looked on my machine.

Hm, I think configuring it as eth0:1 is better, since eth0 is already
eth0:0. I could imagine that your change didn't change the kernel routing
tables, which might be the cause of some problems.
