If the hardware is totally the same, the only way for anybody to know
the difference is if your computer tells somebody what OS its running,
like it can do over the web. Assuming you don't have to visit a website
to get your connection running, I can't imagine that this is the problem.
I'd poke at your Windows configuration. I don't think this is Linux's
fault or Roadrunner's fault.
