If I'm reading the below correctly you're missing the default route on the linux box. Try
$ sudo route add default gw 10.42.0.10

When I type in:
glenn(a)glenn-desktop:-$ host Google.com ;;connection timed out; no servers could be reached glenn(a)glenn-desktop:-$
Interesting question: why when I run ifconfig in Windows does the IPv4 default gateway show as my Linux box's IP address??? That's surely not right. And when I have my network plugged in sometimes my mail fails to send, as in cant reach server. I wonder if the windows box is looking at the Linux box as a server. I can't imagine why though.
What ever it is its playing mary hell with my dialup connection.
