I have a question osn seting up a static IP with a Comcast static IP 
business account.

The IP worked fine for 6 months until I rebuilt the box with ubuntu.

I have a static IP form comcast 75.150.219.49
I of comcast router             75.150.219.50

Ubuntu server 9.10
ubuntu-desktop installed
root enabled for login to Desktop


Edited /etc/network/interfaces    as follows:

-------------- begin of interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
#             iface eth0 inet dhcp   # pmc 20100525
iface eth0 inet static
address 75.150.219.49
netmask 255.255.255.252
network 75.150.219.48
broadcast 75.150.219.51
gateway 75.150.219.50
-------------- end of intefaces

ifdown eth0
ifup eth0

 From ubuntu box:
http://75.150.219.49/index.html      'it works'

 From Windows box:
http://75.150.219.49/index.html      Can't find it
ping 75.150.219.49                   Ok, average 13 ms

What to do now?
