Weird.
There is no hardware reason for this.
I can only speculate that somehow the Windows ethernet interfaces are
getting configuration information from the Linux box, which in turn is
erroneous.
This would only happen with Windows set to utilize DHCP... but in this case
this doesn't make any sense.
You've got me on this one.

erm.......u dont understand me right.......im speaking of 2 (!)
computers......not 1 dual booting between linux and win, but my 2 lan
computers......1 that runs linux......1 that runs win......and if i power
up the one that runs windows BEFORE i power up the one that runs linux
----> ping between them works .....
if i power up the linux computer first and then the windows client ---->
ping timeouts between them.....
u got me right ?
