Put your Ubuntu in Bridged mode; reboot it; take note of it's IP address
and netmask (ifconfig eth0 or something);

take note of the IP address and netmask of the windows machine;

they should have equal netmasks and the IP addresses should.

use ping to make sure they can reach each other

If none of this works, get back to this list.
