Kind of normal, probably your DHCP server tracks something about de
identity of the leasee (I cannot comment much as I do not know much
about the setup; but I see this duality often for dual boot systems)

Another thing to pay attention to is routing. Linux is a weak host
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host_model), unlike (most of the)
Windows. If your Linux has multiple NICs on the same subnet, you will
notice it.
