I think that there may be something else going on here. Like Steve, I 
have several OS's up and down on various boxes many times during the 
course of the day and none of the Windows installations have made the 
succeeding boot of a linux OS in any way problematic.

When you get a moment, take a look at your router set-up and/or check 
your ubuntu install connection information. Something is fishy...
