Ubuntu – Getting xdebug to work on the dev server

I am trying to get xdebug to work on my ubuntu 11 04 server. Everything seems setup right and I do see xdebug from phpinfo(). I installed with apt-get install php5-xdebug. The problem is that anytime I put my workstation(windows 7) ip in xdebug.ini as

zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xdebug.so

[debug]
; Remote settings
xdebug.remote_autostart=off
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=192.168.0.49
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_log=/home/someone/xdebug.log

No webpage works. They just timeout for everyone connected to this server. If I put a coworkers ip in (he is on linux) web pages load without problem. I tought maybe my port 9000 was blocked by windows firewall but I opened the port and everything and still it hangs.

I hope I am clear. I do not see anything in xdebug.log or apaches error logs. I do restart apache after every changes to xdebug.ini. ALso as I said xdebug does load since it shows up in phpinfo().

I'll add any info you guys deeme necessary I am not sure what you need to help me.
I found this question but no one helped him:(

edit: other things I have tried, disabling antivirus, starting a debug session from netbeans. Nothing works.
