ubuntu server has 10.10.10.100
XP has 10.10.10.55
they are all in vmware using Bridge mode
XP has 10.10.10.55

ask a question
In your XP Network properties, tcp/ip, advanced, DNS tab: add "local" to the DNS suffix area.
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?
