Well I don't know about the telnet issue as Corinna is right on that
one.  It is technically impossible for a cygwin application to affect
a non-cygwin application directly.  It may however be a setting in the
OS that got affected.  I don't know if I have installed the inetutils
package however it may be worth a shot just to see if I can reproduce
it myself.

As for a Dual-boot affecting each others' networking configuration.
It can happen but it isn't due to an OS interaction.  Rather Debian is
requesting a "static" or specific ip address and the router is caching
the lease.  When Windows requests a new ip the old lease still exists
in the router as being assigned to the adapter' mac address.  The
router matches the mac address to the lease and hands back the lease
to Windows so both Debian and Windows have the same IP but Windows
hasn't actually been setup to use it as a "static" address.
