I am simply verifying that I can ping my router but not my windows box. 
I also am able to ping this Ubuntu box from itself.
Both FE and BE are on the same machine and I can not figure out how to 
make things work. I think that the FE and BE need to communicate with 
each other even though they are in the same box. But when I click on 
"test connection" I get a "failed" message.

Since I CAN ping this Ubuntu box from itself, shouldn't frontend and 
backend be able to communicate.
