I hope you don't have samba on the linux box running when the colinux is 
started.
Disapearing computers on the network can be address resolution 
conflicts. Are the netbios names set to match the ip names?
Is the mac address of the colinux installation really unique on your 
network. Check if arp -a produces strange results if your connection fails.

Similar problems can result if the master browser elections fail. Check 
with browstat.exe on a windows computer.
