Some things you might want to look at: Is the Linux box sending any traffic (look at the stats in ifconfig)? Does a packet sniffer like http://www.ethereal.com/ give any clues as to the type of traffic on the network? Does the same thing occur if you run less processes, e.g. boot into run level 1 or 3? Are there any processes consuming an unreasonable amount of CPU time on the Linux box? Is there a process which is being restarted many times a second, so top or ps shows a radiply increasing PID?
It could be some network-aware process which has got stuck in a tight loop sending requests to your windows box, e.g. a DHCP client. I mention the DHCP client specifically because they sometimes get upset if you don't enable some specific kernel networking options like CONFIG_PACKET or CONFIG_FILTER & WinRoute might be acting as the DHCP server.
