Here are a few troubleshooting tips for you:
How are the two machines connected? Interface to interface or switch or router?
Are the links (interfaces) up? Check that the green lights close to the ethernet ports are constantly on.
Did you try using IP addresses as well?
How is the IP to domain name conversion taking place? Is there a DNS? Is Windows machine using this DNS on Linux?

I'm using Vmware Network Adapter set to Bridge both, i can ping the ubuntu server from the xp vmware with no problem, but ping failed when i try to ping linux.local
Do you have a good detailed website how to install Bind9 on ubuntu step by step?
