You said that you dual booted the box, so this means one OS runs at a time. What is the method that you assign addresses? Are you sure that Ubuntu and Windows are coming up with the same IP address internally? Being the same one that you have configured on your port forwards? Sounds to me like the IP address is changing internally.
