Well, static IP issues mean you've got a networking problem with this
machine, which you have to solve before you even consider how it behaves
with dnsmasq.

I suggest you go back to the very basics and try to ping the NT machine
from another one which you know is working).

A few remarks:

Er... Same subnet on both interfaces?

Try and ping the NT4 machine from the Mint machine after having
disabled the USB interface on it (i.e., using only ethernets). Does
this work?

Amicalement,
