My first suggestion would be to use different IP address: 192.168.0.1 for
Linux and 192.168.0.2 for the Windows system. There are quite a few
others (millions - literally) that will work; here are a small number of
the possibilities:
Linux Windows
----- -------
10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2
172.16.0.1 172.16.0.2
172.17.0.1 172.17.0.2
192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2
