I've changed a few things, but still nothing. Here's exactly how I'm
set up right now:

WME has three network "cards"- the pppoe (acts like a dial-up), the
wireless (used to get at the pppoe) and the ethernet (x-over to
Linux). The e-net is set to 192.168.3.1/255.255.255.0, the pppoe is
working fine. ICS is set up between the "dial-up" thingamajig and the
ethernet. It has a firewall which allows all ICS traffic.

It's not clear what you mean by "between." If I understand the topology
correctly, you need to enable ICS on ONLY the pppoe interface and no other.
Also, it is critically important that you enable "Client for Microsoft
networks" on all WME interfaces, as stated in my other post in this thread.
IPv4 forwarding and NAT won't work without it.

Lin has one network card, set to static (192.168.3.2/255.255.255.0),
with 192.168.3.1 as the default gateway. It has DNS set up exactly as
ynotssor said (boy, you know more about my connection than I did ;) ).
It has no firewall (yet).

Let's say I ping google.com (or it's IP).

What are the results of "dig google.com"? Does the domain name get resolved
properly? Probably not, yet.

I see on WME that the pppoe connection gets data passed through it.

How exactly are you determining that? By the little winky lights? You should
install WinPcap and ethereal http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/win32/ on
the WME so that you can monitor the traffic of any of the 3 interfaces in
detail, although there are limitations on the wireless capture as you can
read at the above link. I assume that WME is capable of running the
software, but one never knows.

I get no reply on my linux box, though. The same thing happens when I
disable the firewall.

This sounds entirely symptomatic of either a failure to enable "Client for
Microsoft networks" on ALL the WME interfaces, or a failure to enable ICS on
ONLY the pppoe interface.
