You are a little quiet when it comes to provide some information.
Did you change the IP address of the server or have you made a typo when 
connecting the server?

But we don't want connect TO the Windows machine. We want connect FROM 
the Windows machine.


Ok, lets start again ;-)

At first we have to check the IP address and the interface of the 
postgres server.
As you mentioned the server has the IP address 10.10.128.145.
Connect to this machine and post the output of the following command
# ifconfig
