I remember I had the issue the other way around: no internet in Linux if Windows was hibernating in stead of shut down. Maybe this is the reverse.

Installing Linux doesn’t change anything to Windows. It only changes the boot sector (and of course, a partition or two on the hard disk). So having it installed shouldn’t change anything inside Windows.
