Could you point me in the direction of the open source stuff, presumeing
it's not already in Ubuntu?

    I was going to suggest a PLIP cable, but then I
remembered that Microsoft Windows doesn't support PLIP.
There are USB PC-to-PC cables with open source drivers, but
I don't know whether Windows treats those as a network
interface, which should increase the odds of Linux talking
to the Windows box.  A FireWire cable is another option, if
both machines have the appropriate port.
