Here's what I would probably do...

Temporarily take linux off dhcp: 

  "killall dhclient" or "killall dhcpcd" or whatever.

Bring linux up on a manually configured address:

  "ifconfig eth0 down; ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 up"

On the windows machine under Settings -> Control Panel -> Networking ... set
your ethernet card to a manual address of 192.168.0.2

Now if you're using a cross-over cable they should be able to see each other
by using the ip addresses (192.168.0.1 for the linux machine, 192.168.0.2
for the windows).
