When booted into Window$, does Window$ use the same IP?  10.10.10.50

If Window$ uses the port successfully, then maybe GNU/Linux is messing 
up (or revealing a problem) when it comes to negotiating with the 
switch.  Can you config the switch port to run at a specific speed?  Or 
just try a different port?

Is the other host firewalled to not return echo requests?
