The use of LinkMode is superfluous here. It was used as an option
to LinkOpen[], whose functionality has been split between LinkCreate[]
and LinkConnect[].

LinkOpen[linkname, LinkMode -> Connect] LinkConnect[linkname]
LinkOpen[linkname, LinkMode -> Listen] LinkCreate[linkname]

One thing you may want to establish is whether you can actually
establish a connection with one of the precompiled example programs
on the Windows machine.
Run[ToFileName[{$TopDirectory, "AddOns", "MathLink", "DevelopersKits",
$SystemID, "PrebuiltExamples"}, "AddTwo.exe"]
If you can successfully connect to this link, then you probably need
to run the MathLink binary under a debugger to find where the failure
takes place.
If you cannot connect, then you may want to check the IP address you
specified and verify that the two machines can "see" each other on
the network (e.g. ping).
