It's been a while since I've set up dhcpd, but just in case I actually have
a clue: you do not seem to have an 'option routers' declaration in the
above file.
If your Windows boxes do not know what the router's address is, and
especially given that your DNS servers are not on the local subnet, the
Windows boxes will probably have no idea how to reach them - or any machine
outside of the local network, for that matter.
You don't mention whether or not the router's IP address is hard-coded into
your Windows boxes' network configuration. Check this as well, in addition
to Steve's suggestion of changing your DNS server address to use DHCP.

P.S. If you're going to use DHCP, I really recommend you use it for every
possible value. Don't mix hard-coded and dynamically assigned values unless
you have a REALLY good reason, as doing so with even a handful of machines
is annoying and potentially problematic at best, and a support nightmare at
worst.
