er.. just to add to what the others have said.. keep an eye on the ip's of
your windows ethernet interfaces.. it (windows) has a very bad habit of
reassigning them new and sometimes completely unrelated ips
very often in the 169.something.something.* range ( forget the two middle
octets) this (reassignment) is because of windows default dhcp settings
also.. windows has been known to reassign the interfaces new ips.. but
still within the same range as you desired

moral of the long post.. keep an eye on the interface ips
