posible arp scenarios here:

windows arp snafu:  windows says it can do static arp, you can even set it
to do so, but it rarely does.  For some odd reason, the windows arp table
is spoofing your mac.

linux arp snafu:  your machine has the same arp address as the windows
partition...and it's your fault.

dsniff:  you aren't actually sending packets through the default route.
dsniff is on your sups linux patition and has tricked your machine into
thinking it's the default route.  your traffic goes to it, it does what it
wants with the packets, then sends it through the route itself.  this
would explain why you can't get past the switch when he reboots: you were
never getting packets directly through the route in the first place.

tcp scenarios:

windows IP collision:  windows is set up to use the same IP address as
your machine for some odd reason.  This could also freak out the switch,
because it doesn't know which arp address belongs to the single IP.

So I too think arp is a good place to start.  I also think what cvoid
brought up is worth looking into...it could just be a windows "feature"
gone surly.
